About

Welcome to the new Office of State Archaeology blog! We aim to share the past under our feet and how we preserve it. Here you'll find posts about the people, places, and things of North Carolina history!

The NC OSA is your public agency for archaeology in our state. We strive to gather and share our research and collections with the people to which they belong, the citizens of North Carolina!
