Anyone interested in the archaeology of the area from New York to Virginia, and from the Atlantic coast to West Virginia, is welcome. You do not have to be a member to register for the conference and hear about the latest of a wide variety of archaeological sites dating from the earliest Paleo-Indian sites to 20th-century sites, and of all site types, from small single-use Native American procurement sites and large village sites, to historic period urban, rural, industrial, diverse ethnic and immigrant sites, and underwater sites. Come join us!
CONFERENCE NOTES: The Conference is nearly here! The Preliminary Program is up; see the Conference page. It is now too late for on-line or mail-in conference registration; you will have to register at the door. MAAC is proud to announce that Dr. Doug Scott will be the keynote speaker, Friday evening, March 20. Dr. Scott will be addressing his experiences in the development of military sites archaeology. Dr. Scott, formerly of the National Park Service and presently on the faculty at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is credited with pioneering the application of controlled metal-detector survey, detailed mapping, battle-specific archival research, and ballistic forensics to reconstruct military events. Dr. Scott is best known for his work at Little Big Horn, which earned him the Department of Interior’s Distinguished Service Award in 2003. His talk will begin at Little Big Horn and flow through many of his key projects since then.

Welcome to the Middle Atlantic Archaeological Conference!
We meet annually, in early spring, for three days of papers, discussion groups,
