HOW CAN YOU HELP
-
Report archeological discoveries to your state
archeology office. Also report activities such as unauthorized collection
and illegal selling of artifacts, vandalism and looting, and construction
projects that might threaten a potential or known site. Avoid damaging
old buildings and archeological sites on your own property until an archeologist
from the state office or nearby facility can evaluate them.
-
Support community ordinances that protect
or rehabilitate archeological sites. Join an avocational archeological
society or participate in special public archeology sessions sponsored
by professional societies.
-
Take advantage of public outreach and education
programs. Discover archeology through a state-sponsored Archeology
Week, during which activities are geared specifically to general audiences
of all ages. Learn how much archeology affects your daily lives. Contact
your state archeology office for more information.
