Our Mission Statement:
(from the AIA national website) The AIA promotes a vivid and informed public interest in the cultures and civilizations of the past, supports archaeological research, fosters the sound professional practice of archaeology, advocates the preservation of the world’s archaeological heritage, and represents the discipline in the wider world. A nonprofit organization, the AIA also seeks to educate people of all ages about the significance of archaeological discovery and is committed to preserving the world’s archaeological resources and cultural heritage.
The Tucson Society of the AIA—one of the most active societies in the American southwest—was founded in 1976 and has been making archaeological waves in the Old Pueblo ever since. Please explore our webpage to learn more about our activities and events and get information on upcoming lectures!
