Interest groups offer SAA members the opportunity to exchange information and ideas on specific topics. To promote these conversations, interest groups may support an e-Community (an online forum for sharing ideas and information); sponsor symposia, forums, workshops, or special event(s) at the Annual Meeting; contribute articles to The SAA Archaeological Record or to a journal of the SAA; and/or propose position and policy statements for consideration by the SAA Executive Board.

To be eligible for Interest Group membership or to participate in any e-Community discussions, you must be a current SAA member or you must purchase access to up to three e-Communities  by filling out this form and sending your completed form to membership@saa.org.

Members can access any e-Communities to the Interest Groups they have joined.

Members may change interest group selections at any time of the year by logging in here.

You can find the most updated Interest Group Guidelines here.
