SAA Positions and Actions

SAA is a leading voice in protecting archaeology in the United States and around the world. By representing the archaeological community before the U.S. Congress, the White House, federal agencies, and international organizations, SAA amplifies the voices of its members in defending the archaeological record, jobs, and our shared cultural heritage for present and future generations.

SAA Government Affairs Committees
SAA's government affairs program is comprised of the Government Affairs Committee and the International Government Affairs Committee, which work in combination with the Board of Directors and the Manager, Government Affairs, in developing positions on public policy. The Committee on Repatriation tracks national legislation, testifies at hearings when necessary, and represents SAA in discussions and negotiations on repatriation issues.

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.
