ArchaeoCon is an opportunity for the public to enjoy learning more about archaeology, to meet archaeologists in person, to find out more about the work the AIA does. The event is free for Annual Meeting attendees with no separate registration required.  For those not attending the Annual Meeting, there is a small entry fee, you can purchase tickets on our Eventbrite registration page.
