Excavate!

Greetings Members and Friends of the AIA!

Welcome! Here you’ll find updates on our events as well as links to news on current topics in archaeology. We appreciate your support! Please consider joining the AIA and supporting our local society. Our society receives three FREE lecturers because we maintain a membership of fifty. The AIA pays their airfare and honorarium and our local society provides a venue and hospitality. Thus, your support directly impacts the number of speakers we bring to North Alabama. If we drop below fifty we are in danger of losing speakers. Thanks again for your help and enthusiasm!
