Please fill out a membership application. It is important that we have the information asked for on the form so we can send you the Michigan Archaeologist journal when it is published as well as state level meeting and event announcements.  If you live near a local chapter be sure to indicate which one so you can also receive their newsletters and meeting announcements. Joining is easy. You can do it through the US Mail or our paperless process, whichever you prefer.

To join by US Mail, please print the membership application, fill it out, and mail it with your dues payment to the address shown at the bottom of the application. For a printable membership application click here.
