Archeological Society of Virginia

Each year the ASV holds an annual meeting, generally in October. Usually held over three days in conjunction with the Council of Virginia Archaeologists (COVA), the meeting has a series of paper presentations, poster sessions, exhibits, a book room, an awards presentation, and a banquet that features a nationally known speaker. Meetings are held in various locations across the state. During the meeting weekend, the ASV conducts a business meeting to propose topics requiring membership approval and to elect officers and board members.

The 2008 ASV annual meeting will be held in Martinsville at the Virginia Museum of Natural History. The 2009 meeting will be hosted by the Northern VA Chapter. Details will be posted on this page as they become available.
