The Alaska Archaeological Survey Unit of OHA conducts archaeological and historical investigations in cooperation with
local, state and federal agencies, universities, and museums. Surveys, excavations, studies, and interpretive sign
development are funded by and conducted for other state agencies to comply with the Alaska Historic Preservation Act,
the National Historic Preservation Act, and other laws. Cooperative projects are sometimes undertaken with the University
of Alaska, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and other agencies. Additionally, staff members serve
as consultants to the State Medical Examiner and law enforcement agencies on the analysis of forensic skeletal materials
and associated crime scenes. OHA issues field permits to qualified persons desiring to conduct archaeological
investigations on state lands. The two documents listed in the table below are in pdf format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader version 3.0 or later to view the document on-line.

For some projects, seasonal volunteers are recruited nationwide under the umbrella of the state's Volunteers in Parks (VIP) program, available to U.S. citizens. Additionally, Alaska residents may apply for a limited number of seasonal College Intern and Alaska Conservation Corps positions. Photos taken during some of our field projects are presented in the OHA Photo Gallery. |
