History
In the early 1990s, David Davison and Rajka Makjanic worked at
Tempvs Reparatvm, involved with publishing archaeological titles. Archaeopress was founded in 1997, with Davison leading the editing process whilst Makjanic managed production of the books.
Archaeopress, with
John and Erica Hedges, succeeded Tempvs Reparatvm as the publisher of the
British Archaeological Reports series, though in 2015 began concentrating their own range of imprints.
In September 2024 Archaeopress relocated its headquarters north of Oxford to Bicester.
