Join us for International Archaeology Day!

There are many ways to participate in International Archaeology Day:

Sponsorship

The success of International Archaeology Day is greatly enhanced by our sponsors.  For more information about how to become a sponsor for International Archaeology Day 2013, please contact Ben Thomas (bthomas@aia.bu.edu or 617-353-8708).

Organize an Event

Many organizations join the Archaeological Institute of America and its 108 Local Societies across the U.S., Canada, and abroad to celebrate International Archaeology Day by hosting an event and including it on the International Archaeology Day calendar.

For information on how your organization can become a Collaborating Organization for International Archaeology Day, please see the Collaborating Organzation information page.

Join the Translation Team

In order to make Archaeology Day a truly global event, volunteers are needed to monitor the translations of the International Archaeology Day webpage. We are using Google translation software that allows for users to correct translations. Knowing the limitations of these translations, we need fluent volunteers to help monitor and correct the pages in order to reach audiences around the world this year. To sign up, please email Meredith Langlitz indicating the language(s) (besides English) that you are fluent in.

Promote International Archaeology Day

Organizations that would like to participate in International Archaeology Day but cannot host events can still become Collaborating Organizations by promoting International Archaeology Day to their contacts.

For information on how your organization can become a Collaborating Organization for International Archaeology Day, please see the Collaborating Organzation information page.
