The North Texas Archeological Society (NTAS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of archeological research, the preservation of archeological materials and sites, the interpretation and publication of the data pertaining thereto, and educating the general public about archeology.
Professional and avocational archeologists gather monthly for member meetings and throughout the year for excavations, special projects, and events. NTAS is a family friendly organization. All ages and experience levels are welcome!
NTAS offers FREE memberships for students via the Sponsored Student Membership. As members, students and teachers of NTAS also have access to apply for scholarships from the NTAS Memorial Scholarship Fund to help them attend TAS events offered throughout the year.
Abstracts and creative ideas are sought for papers, symposia, and posters to be presented at the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Texas Archeological Society on October 21-23, 2022, at the University of Texas at Tyler. TAS encourages presentations by avocational, student, and professional archeologist members on any topic of archeological interest.

From 2020-2021, NTAS coordinated with Doug Boyd and TxDoT to create volunteer opportunities at historic archeological sites of the Old American West. These investigations focused on the Sartin Hotel (41DN593) pictured above and the Tom Cook Blacksmith Shop (41DN617), two late-nineteenth-century commercial businesses located in Bolivar, a small town along the Chisholm Trail route in western Denton County.
Do you have field projects that you could use a hand with? NTAS would love to help!
Whether it's for field, lab, or reporting assistance, our society has a talented group of volunteers ready to help. Please email any inquiries and/or project information to Catrina Banks Whitley at vpofprojects@ntxas.org .
