Community for Archaeometry

The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS) was founded to establish a forum for communication among scholars applying methods from the physical sciences to archaeology and to aid the broader archaeological community in assessing the potentials and problems of those methods.

Publications

The SAS promotes such communication through its distribution of the SAS Bulletin, Advances in Archaeological and Museum Science Series, and SASnet, an electronic forum on the internet.

Member discounts are available for the Journal of Archaeological Science and Archaeometry.

Conferences & Data Sharing

The SAS also regularly sponsors conference sessions that encourage data-sharing among archaeological scientists.

International Membership

Established in 1977 with 100 charter members, the SAS currently has several hundred members, who work in academic settings, government offices, and private firms. We encourage new membership among professionals and students.

We represent an international cross-section of the disciplines with input to archaeological science, including anthropology, biology, chemistry, classical studies, geography, geology, and physics.
