The
Association of Archaeological Illustrators and Surveyors (AAI&S)
was formed in Britain in 1978 and is now an international body
for those engaged in all aspects of professional archaeological
illustration and survey. It is an independent body funded through
membership subscription.
As a professional body, one of the main aims of the AAI&S
is to set standards within the profession and to promote these
standards within the archaeological world at large. The Association's
membership reflects the wide range of specialist skills and
disciplines which are required from today's professional Archaeological
Illustrators and Surveyors.
The Association also endeavors to act as an appropriate platform
from which members can exchange ideas and examine new directions.
