STATE MEETINGS
The ASO holds regular state meetings in Columbus in January, March, May, and November. At state meetings, members display their collection and site material, listen and interact with speakers, and are provided an opportunity to meet and learn from fellow members and collectors. The very popular "field found" contest allows members to submit field found artifact for judging. Prizes are awarded in several categories, including best artifact found by a child.
