SUHR is now the SAAS


The SUHR is no longer! SUHR is now the SAAS (South Australian Archaeology Society). The new name was accepted by members at the Society’s Special General Meeting earlier this year. According to the Society’s Facebook page (SA Archaeology Society - SAAS (formerly SUHR) ) “the society is now called the South Australian Archaeology Society Inc. (SAAS). This is an exciting step forward for the society. The new name encompasses all disciplines of archaeology allowing for greater community involvement” and “We are the South Australian Archaeology Society - SAAS (formerly the Society Underwater Historical Research - SUHR). This group is a public group for those interested in South Australia's archaeology, cultural heritage and history. We have recently changed our name from SUHR to SAAS to incorporate South Australia's wide ranging heritage and history. We are planning a big relaunch for the society and some fun and exciting events including a monthly lecture series, quiz night, master classes, field work in association with DENR (SA Dept for Environment and Natural Resources) and we hope to measure some submerged and on land historical anchors for the Big Anchor Project (www.biganchorproject.com).
