The NYSAA is a non-profit organization composed of people interested in various phases of archaeology in New York State.
Founded in 1916 and chartered in 1927 by the Board of Regents of the State of New York, NYSAA is a nonprofit organization composed of 15 chapters and a world-wide membership-at-large. All who are devoted to historic and pre-historic archaeology are invited to join.
The Functions of the NYSAA are:
- To vigorously promote research into the lifestyles of the early inhabitants of New York State with an emphasis toward cultural preservation.
- To participate in excavations when necessary to preserve threatened historic and pre-historic habitats.
- To interpret excavated cultures in a shared environment by lecture or publication in one of many scholarly journals.
- To promote that environment by hosting an annual conference in one of the 15 commnunities within which NYSAA chapters are located and by publishing "The Bulletin" which is the annual journal of NYSAA.
