Contact

For general information, contact one of our regional offices. The mountain and western piedmont counties are handled by our Western Office in Asheville, the coastal counties by our Underwater Branch in Kure Beach and the central and eastern piedmont counties (as well as statewide information) by our Raleigh Office.

Regional offices may be visited by appointment. Please contact one of the general office emails or one of our staff members to inquire.

If you have more specific questions, please use the map below to find and contact the archaeologist who specializes in your area. These assignments also apply to environmental review projects. You can find all staff contact information at the bottom of this page. 

While we have a vacant reviewer position, some staff have temporarily been assigned counties outside their region.

** If you want to report graves being disturbed, please contact your local sheriff's office directly**
