Ukrainian Archaeologists Association

The Ukrainian Archaeologists Association (Ukrainian: Спілка археологів України, SAU) is an all-Ukrainian public organization that brings together Ukrainian archaeologists and civic activists. Its stated purpose is to protect historical heritage and to advance the shared creative, economic and social interests of archaeologists themselves. It was created on the initiative of the prominent archaeologist Denys Kozak and was officially registered by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine on 13 April 2010 under registry number 3320 in the register of public organizations. The Association's core mission is to unite Ukrainian archaeologists on the basis of professional solidarity, so that they can satisfy and defend their lawful social, creative, economic and other common interests. Its main tasks include promoting the development of archaeological science in Ukraine and its methodological and technological improvement; supporting archaeological research on Ukrainian territory; assisting in the practical implementation of programmes and projects for the protection, study, use and restoration of archaeological heritage sites and objects — especially those threatened by destruction or damage from natural factors or economic activity; seeking sources of funding and organizing the publication of research results on archaeological heritage; developing ties with international and national associations in the field of archaeological heritage protection; defending the lawful interests of members and creating conditions for their professional and creative development; raising the role and authority of the archaeological profession in Ukrainian society; and creating an effective mechanism for the exchange of information and experience among members. The organization is a participant in the Reanimation Package of Reforms coalition. It operates through a network of local branches: 15 regional branches (Volyn, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, Luhansk, Lviv, Mykolaiv, Rivne, Ternopil, Kharkiv, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy, Chernivtsi and Chernihiv) plus two city branches (Kyiv and Sevastopol). On 2 February 2024, according to the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, the Association presented the information campaign "Passport of Your Identity" (Паспорт твоєї ідентичності), intended to help people learn more about Ukraine's heritage, history and culture. The Association's official website publishes news, appeals, announcements, a chronicle of archaeological research, materials on the protection of archaeological heritage, publications, conference and lecture information, exhibitions and projects, and it maintains a library section that includes the journal "Археологія" and other periodicals and series.
