support us

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 May/June 2025 issue of ARCHAEOLOGY features excavations of a city where a samurai family flourished amid medieval Japan’s power struggles. Other stories include the discovery of an Egyptian nightmare cure, buying gladiator souvenirs, and brewing for an ancient Brazilian feast.

American Journal of Archaeology

The AJA has set the standard for respected scholarship of Mediterranean archaeology since 1885. The July 2025 issue contains articles on Klazomenian painted sarcophagi, archaeobotanical remains from the Roman Levant, approaches to counting ceramic vessels, and the history of human settlement around the Salapia Lagoon in Italy. Open-access content includes a field report on Late Antique necropoleis in the Egyptian Eastern Desert, a review of the British Museum’s Legion exhibition, and necrologies for Gloria Ferrari Pinney and Brunilde Sismondo Ridgway.

National Lecture Program

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.

interactive Digs

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.

AIA tours

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.
