The Society for Georgia Archaeology, initiated in the 1930s and reorganized in 1973, is a non-profit organization that promotes the identification, investigation, preservation, and protection of archaeological sites and resources throughout the state of Georgia. The Society’s mission “is to unite all persons interested in the archaeology of Georgia and to work actively to preserve, study, and interpret Georgia’s historic and prehistoric remains.” In an effort to fulfill their mission, the society strives to educate the public about the importance of the state’s archaeological sites, encourage professional guidance in the investigation, study, and interpretation of archaeological sites, and publish the results of scientific investigations. The bylaws require the Society to maintain six elected officers: President, a Vice-President, a Secretary-Treasurer, two Editors, and a Parliamentarian. The Board of Directors at the annual meeting elects all officers, and each serves a two-year term. In addition, the Board of Directors has the authority to form Committees at their discretion. Membership is open to any individual or institution that has an interest in archaeology and strives to fulfill the mission of the Society.
