What Register of Professional Archaeologists does
Mission
The registry is a community of professional archaeoologits. Our mission is to establish and adhere to standards and ethics that represent and adapt to the dynamic field of archaeology and to provide a resource for entities who rely on professional archaeology services.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Field school certification - rpa actively advocates the professional growth of all archaeologists, and believes that a strong professional career should begin with a sound introduction to archaeological field methods. Archaelogical field schools serve as primary introduction to the discipline. Rpa believes that certification of archaeology field schools will strengthen these important training and learning contexts by requiring certain standards for basic research methodologies, field experiences, reporting of results, and time devoted to field school activities.
Archaeological ethics database - the ethics database is a resource to bring together sources on archaeological ethics in a single place for the use of students, researchers, and professional archaeologists. The database contains over 500 sources relating to ethics in archaeology
Grievance process - the rpa encourages the reporting of possible violations in order to provide a fair and blanced process for resolving disputes. A greivance hotline connects members directly to a greivance coordinator avoiding office staff and intermediaries for confidential consultation and information
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $881k to $1.2M (+35%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of REGISTER OF PROFESSIONAL ARCHAEOLOGISTS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (57% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
