Society for Historical Archaeology

The Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA) is an organization dedicated to the study and preservation of the material remains of past societies, particularly those from the past five centuries. It brings together archaeologists, historians, and enthusiasts to share research, promote education, and advocate for the importance of historical archaeology. The SHA focuses on understanding everyday life through artifacts, structures, and landscapes associated with recent human history, thus revealing how people lived, worked, and interacted. Their conferences, publications, and resources foster collaboration and innovation within the field, contributing to a better understanding of our shared heritage.
