Welcome to the Society of Africanist
Archaeologists Website!

The Society of Africanist Archaeologists is an organization of archaeologists, researchers from associated disciplines and others who share an interest in African archaeology and African societies. Our membership is international, with participation from Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia, and is actively involved in research in many African countries. We have redesigned our site with several new features, including an area for "digital subscribers" to our bulletin, Nyame Akuma, enhanced access to back issues of the bulletin, and a discussion forum for members.  We welcome your feedback!
