Mountain Valley Archaeology is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Our work is done with professional expertise and guidance. We work closely with the Massanutten Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Virginia. Please contact them for information on volunteer and training opportunities.
The goals of MVA:
To promote the scientific and ethical study of archaeology, especially, but not limited to, the cultures of the Middle Atlantic Uplands
To partner with descendant communities in the design and implementation of archaeological research
To develop citizen science projects that increase the accessibility of archaeology to the public
To promote the spread of archaeological knowledge through the media of publication, meetings, lectures, trainings, and exhibits.
We have been working on archaeology projects in this region of Virginia for decades. We appreciate the support of the community and look forward to learning from you as well.
