Preserving our Past

Archaeological evidence of our past is disappearing rapidly, and it takes dedicated people to make site preservation happen.  If you're looking for knowledge about archaeology, as well as a fun, educational way to help save Georgia's past, then take a look at the Society for Georgia Archaeology. The SGA combines the efforts of professional and avocational archaeologists and the interested public to help preserve places and materials in Georgia that are evidence of our rich cultural past.

 

The SGA also works with other environmental and community groups to educate the public about the importance of our archaeological heritage.  This work sometimes includes surface collecting, laboratory analysis of materials, and controlled excavation at important archaeological sites.
