Kansas Anthropological Association
"Preserving the History and Prehistory of Kansas"
The
Kansas Anthropological Association (KAA) is a non-profit organization
of amateur and professional archeologists. Established in 1955, KAA
has become a large and active group whose diverse members share a common
interest in the prehistoric and historic peoples of the Central Plains.
Opportunities are available to participate in field schools and other
educational and social events. For many years the KAA has had a close
working relationship with the Kansas State Historical Society (KSHS)
Archeology Office. Each June the KSHS and KAA cosponsor the
Kansas Archeology Training Program (KATP).
There are several KAA membership categories. Membership dues are:
Individual - $22.00; Family - $25.00; Student - $5.00 (KATP only, June-August);
Subscription - $25.00 (publications only); Contributing - $30.00; and
Life - $400.00. Unless otherwise indicated, KAA memberships run from
January through December. Members receive newsletters and an annual
journal (The Kansas Anthropologist)
with articles about Kansas archeology and ethnology. Checks should be
made payable to the Kansas Anthropological Association. The KAA mailing
