About

The Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society was founded in 1916 and is affiliated with the Arizona State Museum.

Our Mission

The mission of AAHS is to foster the growth and sharing of knowledge of the diverse communities in the U.S. Southwest and Northern Mexico through time.

Our vision is for AAHS programs and activities to support strong collaborative relationships and community connections that ensure respect for and preservation of regional heritage. 

Our Activities

Activities announced monthly in the newsletter, Glyphs, provide educational and social opportunities to explore these interests. The Society’s quarterly journal, Kiva, publishes original research in southwestern anthropology and history and is an internationally recognized professional journal.

  1. the practice of collecting and dealing in archaeological materials for personal gain;
  2. the excavation of archaeological sites or historic properties without permit or permission; and
