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 January/February 2025 issue of ARCHAEOLOGY features the Top 10 Discoveries of 2024. Other stories include a reading of Babylon’s bad eclipses, the search for the Proto-Parthenon, a DNA study of Jamestown’s dogs, and how artificial intelligence has helped researchers detect new Nazca Lines.
The AJA has set the standard for respected scholarship of Mediterranean archaeology since 1885. The January 2025 issue contains articles on a tumulus near Gordion, stable isotope analysis of marble statue fragments on Delos, local religious habits in Archaic and Classical Laconia and Messenia, luxury furniture found on shipwrecks, and the ketos depicted on the Hesione Vase. Open-access content includes a necrology for Sir John Boardman, a review of a museum exhibition centered on north Africa in late antiquity, and a letter from the Editors-in-Chief.
Explore the world of archaeology with the Archaeological Institute of America’s “A Year of Archaeology” calendar. Each month of the 2025 calendar features an archaeological photo from the AIA’s Photo Contest.
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).
