All interested persons are welcome to attend.
Topics range from the archaeology of Cook County to the archaeology of the Americas, Egypt, Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific. SSAS members share their own experiences during one meeting each year. Activities and Trips Society-sponsored outings have included guided visits to special exhibits at local museums and galleries, fieldtrips to nearby historic and natural areas, and weekend excursions in Illinois and the surrounding states. Longer journeys were made to Southwest, along with extended treks to Central America, Europe, and South America. Members have worked on archaeological excavations in Illinois, Wisconsin, the U.S. Southwest and Scotland, and are occasionally asked to assist professional archaeologists with surveys and other field work.
