When you join the Archaeological Institute of America, you’ll be joining a group of individuals passionate about archaeology, protecting the world’s cultural heritage, and disseminating archaeological research.
The AIA is North America's largest and oldest nonprofit organization dedicated to archaeology. The Institute advances awareness, education, fieldwork, preservation, publication, and research of archaeological sites and cultural heritage throughout the world. Your contribution makes a difference.
ARCHAEOLOGY has been published continuously for more than 75 years by the Archaeological Institute of America, which is dedicated to supporting archaeological inquiry and to fostering the pursuit of knowledge about human heritage. The November/December 2024 issue of ARCHAEOLOGY features a peek inside the lives of gladiators in ancient Anatolia. Other stories include how the Egyptians hunted crocodiles, stepping inside a Roman emperor’s garden, and diving to a Champagne shipwreck.
The AJA has set the standard for respected scholarship of Mediterranean archaeology since 1885. The October 2024 issue contains articles on the state of archaeobotanical research for prehistoric Crete, a collection of bronze tablets from third-century BCE Sicily, ceramic assemblages found during survey near Diros Bay in Greece, and Late Antique mosaic fragments from Aphrodisias. Open-access content includes a study using virtual reality–based eye-tracking technologies to investigate perception in the Roman house, and a review of an exhibition centered on a glass production site in Roman Palestine.
Explore the world of archaeology with the Archaeological Institute of America’s “A Year of Archaeology” calendar. Each month of the 2023 calendar features an archaeological photo from the AIA’s Photo Contest. All proceeds benefit the AIA’s Site Preservation Program.
Follow an excavation project as it happens. Interactive Digs are an opportunity to see an excavation unfold in real time. Archaeologists post regular updates from the field, answer questions, and describe life on a dig.
Travel with an engaging and informative AIA Tours lecturer, plus trip managers and local guides. Each well-paced itinerary offers ample time at each site. By traveling on an AIA Tour you directly support the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) while personally gaining the benefit of the AIA’s network of scholars and worldwide contacts.
Interested in participating in an archaeological project? The AIA has resources for people looking to get into the field through the Archaeological Fieldwork Opportunities Bulletin (AFOB).
