The Western Massachusetts Society is one of over 100 local societies affiliated with the Archaeological Institute of America that host programs and carry out the AIA’s mission in their communities. Local societies provide a vehicle for people interested in archaeology to meet one another, to learn about new discoveries, and to hear from scholars about their current research.
Lectures sponsored by the Western Massachusetts Society are held in Amherst, Northampton, and South Hadley, rotating among the campuses of Amherst College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
