American Archaeology Abroad allocates funds to sponsor public lectures of an archaeological and historical nature in collaboration with local and national organizations. We collaborate with local organizations to sponsor lectures and other public events. We often seek out organizations which would not normally consider archaeology and ancient history within their purview. Such collaborations expose archaeology and ancient history to a community that normally would not seek it out, broadens the exposure of our organization, and opens our own membership to new disciplines and ideas. Our goals for these programs are as follows:

 

    1) Promote public education on archaeology and ancient history

    2) Collaborate with local organizations to further the goals of both organizations

    3) Bring archaeology and ancient history to the public by collaborating with non-archaeological organizations

    4) Gain exposure for our organization, its programming, and its mission
