The mission of The Massachusetts Archaeological Society is to foster respect for the rich archaeological and cultural heritage of the New England region through its commitment to education, research, and historic preservation. As a membership society, we engage professional and avocational archaeologists in our programs, outreach, and scholarly publications. Through exhibits and tours at our Robbi
ns Museum of Archaeology, and our virtual and off-site informal education offerings, we reach thousands of citizen scientists and members of the curious public eager to learn more about archaeology, ethnology, science, history, and culture. Our collections and archival holdings focus on the First Peoples of New England and include extensive materials related to historic and contemporary Native American tribal descendants.
