Other Archeological Societies

---

The Texas Archeological Society was founded in 1929 and conducts scientific archeological excavations for professional and avocational archeologists to participate in. Students of all ages are welcome.

 The Houston Archeological Society (HAS) is a non-profit organization that serves the professional, student and avocational archeological community of Houston. The HAS offers research, historic property (prehistoric and historic) site assessments, archeological survey and excavation opportunities, education and outreach programs and research publications.   

EPAS is a dynamic organization of approximately 250 avocational and professional archaeologists. We are a nonprofit group dedicated to conservation and preservation of cultural resources. 

 Panhandle Archaeological Society (PAS) members are dedicated to preserving and protecting the cultural and natural resources of the Texas panhandle and adjacent areas, and to promoting education and community involvement in the history, prehistory, and natural environment of the Texas Panhandle and adjacent areas. 

 The Big Bend Archeological Society is a place to bring people with an active interest in the cultural heritage of the Big Bend region together. We actively promote the preservation and conservation of archeological and historic resources of the region, and actively discourage the destruction of the cultural heritage that occurs through such things as relic collecting, unscientific digging, and illegal importation and commercial trade in archeological materials. 

 The S.T.A.A. is a regional scientific and educational organization for individuals and groups interested in the archaeology, ethnohistory and prehistory of south-central and southern Texas. The association was established in December 1973 with about 45 members and rapidly grew to a continuing level of about 450 individuals. 

 We are a volunteer organization that works with local landowners to investigate and record prehistoric and historic archeological sites on their property; and with local organizations, schools and colleges to teach about the archeology of the area. We also provide a venue for the students and general public to become involved with studying and recording the remains of those who came before us.
