What is the Southern African Archaeology Student Society (SAASS)?

SAASS serves as a community for students to have a system and an organisation to engage with academically, which motivates and creates opportunities for students to network with one another and with other professional researchers in archaeology and related fields. As well as to gain further insight into the laboratory and practical field skills.

Our vision and goals

Southern African Archaeological Student Council (SAASC) envisions advancing collegiality, fostering a sense of belonging, and promoting collaboration among SADC archaeology students and early career professionals. The council believes in and supports the transformation and decolonising of the discipline by providing an equitable and inclusive platform for emerging voices.
