Fieldnotes provides a new opportunity for professionals to discuss and share their research.

Fieldnotes is a new feature of the AIA website aimed to better serve our professional and student Members. It is a user-driven source of information about current trends in the discipline, as well as a venue for presentation and discussion of new directions in the field; methods and methodologies; and institutional funding, research programs, and teaching resources. Both individuals and institutions are encouraged to submit short articles, field reports, announcements, news items, and links to digital resources, which are relevant to the professional and academic membership of the AIA. 

The AIA invites archaeologists and scholars from related fields to submit a session or paper for consideration for inclusion in the Academic Program.

We are excited to return to Philadelphia for the 2012 Annual Meeting. The program will feature academic sessions presenting the latest research from the field, workshops that discuss and present new technologies, and special events that focus on archaeology both locally and globally. The Program Committee is currently accepting abstracts for consideration for inclusion in the Academic Program. The first deadline (March 27th) is quickly approaching. Please see the Call for Papers for full details.

The AJA has set the standard for archaeological scholarship since 1885.

The American Journal of Archaeology is one of the world's most distinguished and widely distributed archaeological journals. It was founded in 1885 and is a leader in ground-breaking articles on archaeology and thoughtful book and museum exhibition reviews. The Journal is published quarterly and is available in both print and electronic (PDF) formats. Please visit the official website of the AJA (www.ajaonline.org) for abstracts, free (PDF) content, and details on how to subscribe and/or submit to the Journal.

  • Interest Groups

    AIA Members have created Interest Groups focusing on specific issues and topics in archaeology.  These groups provide a forum for discussion among students and scholars. The IGs also meet each year at our Annual Meeting and often propose papers and sessions to the Program Committee.
