Archeological Society of Maryland
Field and Laboratory Volunteer Opportunities Statewide
One of the Archeological Society of Maryland’s main goals is to involve
the public in field and lab events throughout the year and across the State. To
meet this goal, ASM hosts a Spring Symposium and an annual Fall meeting, and
co-hosts with the Maryland Historical Trust a Spring Workshop and a late spring field/excavation session. ASM’s local chapters also conduct meetings and
provide opportunities for members and the general public to participate in field
and laboratory activities. Visit our website at www.marylandarcheology.org to
learn about upcoming events, view the latest edition of our monthly newsletter
(ASM Ink), and link to our chapters’ websites.
Baltimore Archaeology Forum
Join the Baltimore Archaeology Forum (BAF) as we work to further the preservation, use, and awareness of the rich archaeological heritage of the Baltimore area, including Baltimore County, Baltimore City, and Howard County. The BAF promotes and participates in public archaeology digs in the Baltimore area. Recent salvage excavations in West Baltimore demonstrated that dedicated volunteers can fill the gaps by exploring and protecting the archaeological resources that are threatened on small renewal projects. Archeological Society of Maryland members and interested volunteers are welcome to join and help the BAF in exploring Baltimore’s past. For more information, contact Adam Fracchia at [fracchia@umd.edu] or Stephen Israel at [stephenisrael2701@comcast.net].
