support us

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 Magazine

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 March/April 2025 issue of ARCHAEOLOGY features the vivid reliefs that adorn a newly restored Egyptian temple. Other stories include the invention of the alphabet, making an Ice Age fashion statement, the route to a Silk Road metropolis, and unearthing an archaeologist’s message in a bottle.

American Journal of Archaeology

The AJA has set the standard for respected scholarship of Mediterranean archaeology since 1885. The April 2025 issue contains articles on Carl Blegen’s ideas about Greek culture, Roman amphitheaters in Cyprus, a Roman aqueduct in Jordan, the dating of the Midas Monument, and biomolecular analysis of vessels from Troy. Open-access content includes a field report on work at Gordion, a necrology for Malcolm Bell III, and a review of a newly reopened museum in Puglia.

National Lecture Program

The AIA is pleased to present its 129th National Lecture Program, running from September 2024 through April 2025. Top scholars from North America and abroad are presenting a wide range of current archaeological topics and, as always, lectures are free to the public—everyone is welcome to attend.

interactive Digs

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.

AIA tours

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.
