Overview

​​​​We take pride in safeguarding and celebrating the rich tapestry of our state's cultural heritage. As stewards of history, our primary role in archaeology involves identifying, documenting, and help our partners preserve archaeological sites. We meticulously review development projects to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations, offering recommendations to minimize impacts on these invaluable resources. Our commitment extends to the coordination with Tribal Nations, emergency response plans, and the responsible management of archaeological data.

We believe that embracing our archaeological heritage can unite communities and deepen our appreciation for the land we call home​. Our archaeology team spends time doing education and outreach for archaeology ethics in Kentucky.

Our archaeological services are under our SPHO Site Protection team. Explore this webpage to learn more about our services and archaeology in Kentucky. ​
