The Sacramento Archeological Society, Inc. is dedicated to the study and preservation of pre-history and historical aspects of the past. The society is a non-profit group of both professional archeologists and individuals with an active avocational interest in archeology.
The members of the society believe in the importance of a working partnership between professional archeologists and interested members of the public, making the science and data of archeology accessible to the public.
The society supports a Code of Ethics for its members that recognized local, state and federal laws and provides guidelines for field collection, excavation, survey and laboratory work, all of which must be conducted under the supervision of a professional archaeologist.
The society meets regularly, often hearing a presentation from a professional archaeologist about a recent excavation. Several times a year the Society schedules field trips. These can be visits to nearby archaeological sites or “insider tours” of museum collections and archaeological laboratories. To view the society’s activities, click here.
Many of our members volunteer in archaeological excavations, serving in such programs as the U.S.D.A. Forest Service’s Passport in Time, and share experiences with the group.
The society serves as a informational “clearinghouse” for local archaeology an anthropology-related activities and events in the Sacramento area and beyond.
