Greetings Members and Friends of the AIA!

Welcome! Here you’ll find updates on our events as well as links to news on cool, current topics in archaeology. Please consider joining the AIA and supporting our local society. As an AIA member affiliated with our local society, you get to vote on what lecture topics we choose each year. A significant portion of your membership gets refunded to our local society to support our activities. You’ll have greater access to all our speakers—more chances to ask questions and hear the inside scoop on new discoveries! Our society receives two FREE lecturers because we maintain a membership of fifty. AIA headquarters pays their airfare and honorarium and our local society provides a venue and hospitality. As a local society we invite an additional four to six speakers and host other events such as our annual archaeology fair and our biannual wine tasting. Your support directly impacts the number of fascinating archaeologists we bring to North Alabama. Thanks again for your support and enthusiasm!

President, AIA North AL Society
