Notes

The MAS By-Laws are available to download in a link on the MAS membership information. Article III of the MAS By-Laws is about the Code of Ethics, and states "It shall be required of all members that they conduct themselves above reproach on matters within the scope of the purpose and objectives of the Minnesota Archaeological Society. The sale or exchange of archaeological artifacts for commercial purposes is considered cause for dismissal from the Minnesota Archaeological Society. All members should be aware of and observe historic preservation laws and support Minnesota Archaeological Society ethics, which have been adopted in full from the Society of American Archaeology's Principles of Archaeological Ethics 1996."
