WHAT IS THE MONTANA ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY (MAS)?

Organized in 1958, membership in the Montana Archaeological Society is open to both amateur and professional archaeologists. MAS was created:

• to stimulate interest in and promote research into the archaeology of Montana;
 
• to encourage increased public appreciation and involvement in this fascinating process;
 
• to develop a bond among both professionals and non-professionals interested in Montana archaeology and to direct their efforts into scientific channels; and
 
• to advocate and assist in the conservation and preservation of archaeological sites and materials
