The Sussex Archaeological Society, founded in 1846, is one of the oldest county-based archaeological societies in the UK. A registered self-funding charity whose charitable aims are to enable people to enjoy, learn about and have access to the heritage of Sussex. This is done by opening six historic sites in Sussex to visitors, providing research facilities in its library, running excavations, providing a finds identification service and offering a variety of walks, talks and conferences on the archaeology and history of Sussex. Its headquarters are at Bull House, High Street, Lewes, Sussex former home to Tom Paine. The current chief executive of the society is Tristan Bareham.

As well as the supervision of excavations within Sussex, the SAS publishes the Sussex Archaeological Collections and an annual report, and administers the Long Man of Wilmington. The six historic properties and museums open to the public are:

  • Fishbourne Roman Palace
  • Lewes Castle
  • Anne of Cleves House, Lewes
  • Michelham Priory
  • Marlipins Museum, Shoreham-By-Sea
  • The Priest House, West Hoathly
