Members Spotlight


AIA-LA has many diverse and talented members, and we celebrate them here. Every few weeks we shine a spotlight on another of our members who is willing to share their experiences in the world of archaeology.

Our 200 members’ interests span the entire range of archaeological endeavors and extend to personal interests in unique societies and exotic locations around the world.

These are the people you meet at our intriguing events.

Joining the Archaeological Institute of America makes you automatically eligible to participate in local society activities.

If you live in Los Angeles County, you are more than welcome to come to AIA-LA events and mingle with these gifted members.
