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 2025 issue of ARCHAEOLOGY features new research on the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Other stories include the undercover work of Mesopotamian spies, untangling Inca recordkeeping, and George Washington’s near-death experience.
The AJA has set the standard for respected scholarship of Mediterranean archaeology since 1885. The October 2025 issue contains articles on settlement patterns at Aššur, the concept of Hellenization at Sagalassos, Egyptian-looking censers from Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the transport of marble objects in the Levant. Open-access content includes a study exploring whether epidemic disease struck ancient Amarna, a review of the First Kings of Europe exhibition, and necrologies for Colin Renfrew and T.L. Shear, Jr.
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.
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).
