The Missouri Association of Professional Archaeologists, Inc. (MAPA) is a non-profit organization that was established to promote professionalism and communication in Missouri Archaeology.

The objectives of MAPA include:

1) to facilitate communication, 2) to promote public outreach and education, 3) to seek the preservation and protection of cultural resources, 4) to encourage research and publications in Missouri archaeology, and 5) to demand professional and ethical standards.

Addressing the latter, MAPA endorses the Registry of Professional Archaeologists' Code of Conduct and Standards of Research Performance.

In regards to communication, MAPA has established a "Missouri Archaeology" listserv. To join this group, please send an email request to: Missouri_Archaeology-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.au.
