Welcome to our website!  

Our mission is to advocate the preservation of archaeological and other cultural resources, the education of members and the public about archaeological and ethnological subjects through our meetings, lectures, newsletter, other electronic media, field trips, volunteer efforts, field surveys, seminars, and studies. 

Please browse around our website, check out current and past member activities.  If you find an activity that interests you, consider joining our organization. (Press Membership Form to open application form for details.)  

Trips, seminars, and volunteer projects require membership.  Monthly lectures are free for the general public. 

During the covid pandemic we continued Society activities but to more limited extent via the Zoom App.  Business meetings and lectures continued to be held, and these were recorded using Zoom. Lab work at the Maxwell Museum and trips were suspended.  

After the covid lock-down was lifted, the in-person meetings resumed, and the Zoom recordings continued as well.  These recordings are included on the website Zoom Lectures section.  Lab work at the Maxwell Museum Lab resumed as did the trips to Museums and destinations of archaeological interest.  Additionally, the seminars restarted.

The Albuquerque Archaeological Society Newsletter is the official record for the Society as specified in the bylaws.  Meeting business details, lecture summaries, reports from active committees, and other topics of interest are included.  For convenience, links to the current newsletter and past newsletters are below.
