The Society for Archaeological Sciences

The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SocArchSci or SAS) is an international association and US-registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt private foundation that promotes research on and dissemination of knowledge about our human past, studied through a wide range of physical, natural, and computational science techniques. The Society represents a distinguished group of scholars, students, and professionals from around the world and is committed to the stewardship of high ethical and technical standards. Through the SAS Bulletin, the SASnet listserv, and multiple social media channels the Society serves as an international forum to discuss current trends, innovative techniques, and new challenges in archaeological research. The Society also has formal affiliations with several leading peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Archaeological Science, Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, Archaeometry, and Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences. SAS is a member of the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS: https://www.facss.org/Member-Societies/) and supports joint programming with other organizations on an ad hoc basis. SAS organizes and co-sponsors symposiums and award competitions at multiple conferences and workshops each year; look for us especially at the International Symposium on Archaeometry, the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, and the annual conference of FACSS - The Great Scientific Exchange (SciX). We are always seeking new partners in advancing the archaeological sciences and promoting the professional and intellectual development of our members.
