What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Archaeological Research
In cooperation with its board and members, American Archaeology Abroad participates in archaeological research abroad. Research and excavation are carried out by credentialed members who have active legal projects in foreign countries. Teams consist of American volunteers from the general public and college students, and are often conducted in collaboration with representatives of the country in which the work is carried out. Our on-site programming includes educating public and student volunteers about archaeology and the ancient human past through hands-on experience. Volunteers and students work side by side with professional archaeologists, attend regular instructional sessions and topical lectures, and participate in every aspect of the excavation. Additionally, volunteers have the opportunity to visit other archaeological sites on tours. Our goals for these programs are three-fold: 1) Advance scientific knowledge of the ancient past 2) Educate the public both about the past and about how archaeologists and historians study the it 3) Train not only the future generation of American archaeologists but also the general public in scientific pursuits of the ancient past
Student Scholarship for Excavation Abroad
American Archaeology Abroad holds an annual competition for scholarships for undergraduate students to attend archaeological excavations abroad. Current funding allows for one award of $1500 per year, but we intend to develop this program in future years to accommodate additional students. The goals for this program are as follows:
1) Support education in archaeology
2) Forge new relationships with archaeological expeditions by sponsoring students
3) Support and promote archaeology and public education outside of our organization
Lecture Sponsorship
American Archaeology Abroad allocates funds to sponsor public lectures of an archaeological and historical nature in collaboration with local and national organizations. We collaborate with local organizations to sponsor lectures and other public events. We often seek out organizations which would not normally consider archaeology and ancient history within their purview. Such collaborations expose archaeology and ancient history to a community that normally would not seek it out, broadens the exposure of our organization, and opens our own membership to new disciplines and ideas. Our goals for these programs are as follows: 1) Promote public education on archaeology and ancient history 2) Collaborate with local organizations to further the goals of both organizations 3) Bring archaeology and ancient history to the public by collaborating with non-archaeological organizations
4) Gain exposure for our organization, its programming, and its mission
