Welcome to the AIAS
The Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society (AIAS) was founded in 1961 by Professor Yigal Yadin, Dr Alec Lerner, Leon Shalit and Dr Richard Barnett. The aims of the society are to:
- Make recent developments in the archaeology of Israel and neighbouring countries more widely known in the UK
- Provide a series of illustrated public presentations explaining and informing on recent archaeological findings and new theories
- Regularly publish an internationally respected journal the Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society, consisting of original research papers
- Provide grants for students of Middle Eastern Archaeology
We welcome you to the society's website. Please browse through our various activities. We would urge you to consider joining the society in order to help fund our activities and to generate a lively membership. Whether you join or not you would be very welcome to attend one of our presentations (open to members and non-members) that are currently being held at the Clore Education Centre at the British Museum and where one of our committee members would be happy to chat to you.
