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 November/December 2024 issue of ARCHAEOLOGY features a peek inside the lives of gladiators in ancient Anatolia. Other stories include how the Egyptians hunted crocodiles, stepping inside a Roman emperor’s garden, and diving to a Champagne shipwreck.

American Journal of Archaeology

The AJA has set the standard for respected scholarship of Mediterranean archaeology since 1885. The October 2024 issue contains articles on the state of archaeobotanical research for prehistoric Crete, a collection of bronze tablets from third-century BCE Sicily, ceramic assemblages found during survey near Diros Bay in Greece, and Late Antique mosaic fragments from Aphrodisias. Open-access content includes a study using virtual reality–based eye-tracking technologies to investigate perception in the Roman house, and a review of an exhibition centered on a glass production site in Roman Palestine.

AIA 2023 Calendar

Explore the world of archaeology with the Archaeological Institute of America’s “A Year of Archaeology” calendar. Each month of the 2023 calendar features an archaeological photo from the AIA’s Photo Contest. All proceeds benefit the AIA’s Site Preservation Program.
