La custodia implica la gestión participativa del registro arqueológico en beneficio de todas las personas. Como custodios, los arqueólogos son a la vez los guardianes y defensores del registro arqueológico. Los arqueólogos promueven la custodia del registro arqueológico mediante la investigación y la educación sobre colecciones y sitios existentes que contribuyen a preservar el pasado y facilitan su acceso para todos. Los arqueólogos trabajan por la conservación y protección del registro arqueológico a largo plazo, respetando, al mismo tiempo, los derechos y creencias de los pueblos indígenas y originarios sobre su patrimonio cultural, tal y como se manifiesta en el registro arqueológico.

ATTENTION! BEWARE OF HOUSING POACHERS!

The Society for American Archaeology (SAA) has learned of a company that is attempting to do business with SAA exhibitors and attendees by soliciting them for sleeping rooms in regard to the SAA Annual Meeting. The SAA does not endorse booking hotel reservations via another company or source. The only authorized sources for making hotel room reservations for the annual meeting is the SAA website and with the hotel directly.

If you receive any solicitations either via email or telephone from other third parties/vendors incorrectly identifying themselves as an official SAA housing representative or member of exhibition services, we ask that you please delete the message immediately, ignore any further requests, and contact the SAA’s executive director immediately at +1 (202) 559-4580.
