Lynchburg, Virginia Chapter

The Classics department is the academic home of the Lynchburg chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA).
The AIA's national lecture program brings working archaeologists of different interests to our campus to share their research and sends our faculty off to do likewise. The David F. Anthony Sr. Memorial Lecture is given annually by an archaeologist living in Virginia.
The membership of the local chapter includes professional archaeologists, faculty, teachers, and students. The lectures are a great opportunity to meet lovers of archaeology in the Lynchburg community.
