The Iowa Archeological Society meets annually in the spring and frequently in the fall at various places around the state. The meetings provide an opportunity for exchange of information through workshops, site reports and special lectures for individuals to learn about Iowa's rich and interesting past.
Members may participate in field trips and supervised excavations conducted within the state.
The Iowa Archeological Society has local chapters which also hold meetings and field trips. They are located throughout the state.
