Archaeology and anthropology officer

The archaeology and anthropology officer (also known as A&A officer) was a staff position aboard Federation starships whose role and function include oversight of archaeological and anthropological studies.

During the 2360s, first officer Anne Cobry was A&A officer aboard the USS Prospect (NCC-60056). When she was promoted to the rank of captain and had an increase in duties aboard the USS Prospect (NCC-60056-A), Cobry relinquished the role to Lieutenant Amy Bell in 2371. Incidentally, Bell was the former A&A officer aboard the USS Minnesota (NCC-64332). (Star Trek: The Prospect Chronicles)
