Benefits of Registration

• Your professional home – The Register of Professional Archaeologists is international and the largest archaeological professional registry in the Americas—and we have a place for you!
  
  

• Work in more places – Registration is required to do archaeological work in many jurisdictions - and the list is growing every day.
  
  
• Support for professionalism – Our grievance process protects RPAs/RAs who follow the Code of Conduct (Code) and Standards for Research Performance (Standards). The Register of Professional Archaeologists supports RPAs/RAs against frivolous allegations when an investigation shows they upheld the Code and Standards.
  
  
• Education – We screen and certify continuing professional education programs and notify RPAs/RAs of these opportunities to improve their professional practice in diverse and dynamic discipline.
  
  
• Marketing – The Register of Professional Archaeologists promotes the use of RPAs/RAs through advertising and outreach to industry associations and the public. We increase the demand for RPAs/RAs by promoting the advantages of the use of registered, accountable professionals to those who hire archaeologists.
  

• Get paid more – RPAs/RAs generally earn higher salaries and have greater job responsibilities than archaeologists who are not registered.
