The Standing Committee on Archaeology is a multidisciplinary group of scholars appointed to coordinate the teaching of archaeology among Harvard’s departments.  It is designed to advance knowledge of archaeological activity, research fieldwork, and scientific techniques in the many and varied fields where archaeology is an established and desirable approach to past cultures and histories around the world.  It sponsors seminars, lectures, and conferences on archaeology in all fields, and encourages students in the several departments to join together outside their specialties for the advancement of knowledge.
