Here is Site for the Archaeological Institute of America, the oldest and  a well respected  Society in the USA . Most professional archaeologists and hordes of those  interested , amateur archaeologists and mentally deranged  are members . They support work and publish some studies and put out the magazine " Archaeology". In the meetings once a month they bring in Well respected and important Academics from around the US and  world ,even such people as Salema Ickrum , of the Egyptian Museum  . Some of my house guests at the time where just plain , Cool. The only complaint I ever had was one middle aged Archaeologist who did not like getting in and out of the Corvette I was driving at the time . The Chapter I formed was based at Arizona State University, which has a very respected Archaeological  department . I was not a ASU staff member , but have always been a independent professional in related fields .
