Get Involved Locally
State Archaeologists and State Historic Preservation Officers answer archaeology
questions regarding their state, including opportunities to get involved in local archaeology. Their web sites usually include information about state archaeology activities, education resources, and fieldwork opportunities. If your state has an
annual archaeology celebration, that may provide events and activities close to home. Different states also have local archaeological societies for both professional and avocational archaeologists, many of whom are part of SAA's Council of Allied Societies.
SAA also maintains the Government Affairs Network of State Representatives (GANSRs). The GANSR system can
help you understand local legislation and regulatory issues affecting archaeology in the United States. Get involved in advocating for archaeology in your state!
Network of State/Provincial Archaeology Education Coordinators
Another point of contact for local information is the Network of State/Provincial Archaeology Education Coordinators. These are SAA members across the United States and Canada who can help introduce you to the archaeology in your area. This network of
archaeologists developed out of the SAA's Public Education Committee. Contact the individuals below to find out how to get involved locally.
