Organizations Filed Purposes:
AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY ABROAD IS A U.S. 501(C)3 NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION FORMED TO ADVANCE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE AND TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE PAST AND HOW IT IS STUDIED. WE PURSUE THESE GOALS THROUGH ENGAGING IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND EXCAVATION, SPONSORING STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS, AND INCLUDING STUDENTS AND PUBLIC VOLUNTEERS IN OUR LECTURE AND RESEARCH PROGRAMS
ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH - IN COOPERATION WITH ITS BOARD AND MEMBERS, AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY ABROAD PARTICIPATES IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH ABROAD. RESEARCH AND EXCAVATION ARE CARRIED OUT BY CREDENTIALED MEMBERS WHO HAVE ACTIVE LEGAL PROJECTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. TEAMS CONSIST OF AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND COLLEGE STUDENTS, AND ARE OFTEN CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE WORK IS CARRIED OUT. OUR ON-SITE PROGRAMMING INCLUDES EDUCATING PUBLIC AND STUDENT VOLUNTEERS ABOUT ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE ANCIENT HUMAN PAST THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE. VOLUNTEERS AND STUDENTS WORK SIDE BY SIDE WITH PROFESSIONAL ARCHAEOLOGISTS, ATTEND REGULAR INSTRUCTIONAL SESSIONS AND TOPICAL LECTURES, AND PARTICIPATE IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE EXCAVATION. ADDITIONALLY, VOLUNTEERS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT OTHER ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES ON TOURS.STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS FOR EXCAVATION ABROAD - AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY ABROAD HOLDS AN ANNUAL COMPETITION FOR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO ATTEND ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS ABROAD. CURRENT FUNDING ALLOWS FOR TWO AWARDS OF $500 EACH, BUT WE INTEND TO DEVELOP THIS PROGRAM IN FUTURE YEARS TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL STUDENTS. TWO WERE GRANTED IN THE CURRENT YEAR.LECTURE SPONSORSHIP - AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY ABROAD ALLOCATES FUNDS TO SPONSOR PUBLIC LECTURES OF AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL NATURE IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL AND NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. WE COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO SPONSOR LECTURES AND OTHER PUBLIC EVENTS. WE OFTEN SEEK OUT ORGANIZATIONS WHICH WOULD NOT NORMALLY CONSIDER ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANCIENT HISTORY WITHIN THEIR PURVIEW. SUCH COLLABORATIONS EXPOSE ARCHAEOLOGY AND ANCIENT HISTORY TO A COMMUNITY THAT NORMALLY WOULD NOT SEEK IT OUT, BROADENS THE EXPOSURE OF OUR ORGANIZATION, AND OPENS OUR OWN MEMBERSHIP TO NEW DISCIPLINES AND IDEAS.
