About the Society and Branches
The Society
The South African Archaeological Society was founded in 1945 and has about 1 000 members (individuals as well as universities, institutes, museums and libraries) in over 30 countries throughout the world.
The South African Archaeological Society welcomes anyone who would like to know more about our past. The Society aims to encourage and satisfy your interest in all aspects of archaeology by bringing members of the public with an interest in archaeology and professional archaeologists together. Our branches offer regular talks and excursions to important sites as well as opportunities for hands-on experience with excavations and the processing of archaeological finds. The Society also publishes a refereed journal, a more popular magazine, an occasional research publication and branch newsletters. We try to keep membership subscriptions as low as possible (they are lower than those of most comparable societies) and there is a special subsidised rate for students.
There are four branches: Trans-Vaal Branch, Western Cape Branch, KwaZulu-Natal Branch and Trans-!Gariep Branch. The society's head office is located in Cape Town and can be contacted at:
P O Box 15700, Vlaeberg, 8018
