SAA, also known as the Society for American Archaeology, is an international organization dedicated to the research, interpretation, and protection of the archaeological heritage of the Americas. With a membership of nearly 7,000, SAA represents both professional and avocational archaeologists, archaeology students, and those working in Tribal agencies, museums, government agencies, and the private sector. SAA offers a range of services for its members, including access to journals, directories, and a member center where they can manage their profiles.

Members also have the opportunity to join interest groups and e-communities, participate in online learning programs, and access the SAA archive. The organization is actively involved in government affairs, advocating for the preservation of archaeological sites and resources. They also focus on education and outreach, providing resources for teaching archaeology and promoting public awareness and involvement in the field.

Each year, SAA hosts an annual meeting where members can present their research, attend programs and seminars, and connect with other professionals in the field. Join SAA today to become part of a vibrant community dedicated to the study and preservation of our archaeological heritage
