  • Chalcolithic Syria
  • CT-scanning the Milwaukee Public Museum's Mummies

In addition, we are planning our first ever Archaeology Fair co-sponsored with the Milwaukee Public Museum. The Fair will be held March 5 and 6, 2010 at the Public Museum and will feature over two dozen hands-on activities, displays, and exhibits as well as Roman soldiers, Celtic tribespeople, and Greek warriors in full and authentic gear! Local professional archaeologists, museum educators, and students will be available to show you how ancient peoples from many cultures lived their daily lives, made things, went to war and buried their dead. More information will be available as planning continues. Meanwhile save the date!

Membership Information

If you are not already a member of the AIA, please consider joining. As a member of this organization you join over 200,000 members world-wide and 107 local societies in the US, Canada and Europe, to support archaeology internationally, and right here in your local society. Members of the AIA-Milwaukee Society actively participate through their membership dues which help to bring recognized experts from a variety of archaeological specialties here to speak about their discoveries and ideas. In addition, a portion of your dues is rebated to the Milwaukee Society to help us sponsor local programs to supplement the speakers from the national lecture program. The more members we have, the more we can afford to do. It's as simple as that. Your membership contributions and participation have a very significant impact on the lecture programming we bring to you, and we could not do this without your support and involvement.

You may join the Archaeological Institute of America online via their website (be sure to note that you wish to be a member of the Milwaukee Society, society code 532) or if you prefer, you may print the membership form and mail it to the Boston office at 656 Beacon Street, 6th floor, Boston, MA 02215 together with your check made out to the Archaeological Institute of America. Depending on the level of membership you choose you may include discounted subscriptions to Archaeology Magazine (popular) and/or the American Journal of Archaeology (scholarly) with your membership. If you would like to remain a subscriber to the 2008-2009 mailing list only, please send $5.00 made out to AIA-Milwaukee Society and send it to Alice Kehoe, Secretary-Treasurer, at the address below.
