Archaeological Services Unit & the Office of the State Archaeologist
What We Do
The Archaeological Services Unit provides assistance to the public, offering technical advice, information, and educational opportunities related to archaeology. We strive to protect sites all over the state by reviewing the development projects that must, under state and federal laws, consider their impacts to archaeological resources. Within our own Department of Natural Resources, we work closely with our agency's land managers to identify and protect archaeological resources on state-owned property.
We have established strong, mutually beneficial relationships with DNR's Parks and Historic Sites, Wildlife Resources, and Coastal Resources Divisions. We also work closely with other agencies and organizations both inside and outside state government. Some of our most important public partners are Fernbank Museum of Natural History, the Society for Georgia Archaeology, the Georgia Council of Professional Archaeologists, the Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns, and the Georgia Archaeological Site File.
