The Society has nine local chapters that hold regular monthly meetings. In addition some chapters hold “lab nights” so members can help in the laboratory processing of artifacts. Chapters also have occasional field work opportunities. If you are interested in attending one of the regular monthly meetings in your area find your local chapter below, or check out the “Announcements and Events” posts on the bottom of our “Home” page.
