In the Archeology Division, the State Archeologist oversees the Regional Archeology Program, the Texas Archeological Stewardship Network, Texas Archeology Month, Historic Texas Lands Plaque program and special projects.

Regional Archeology Program
The agency uses a regional approach to support archeology in Texas. The state is divided into six regions: Mountain/Pecos, Plains, Forts/Hill Country, Lakes/Brazos, Forest and Independence/ Tropical. Some staff archeologists are assigned to regions to provide assistance to stewards, landowners and communities when needed. Contact your regional archeologist. For more information about reviews, see Project Review in the side menu or contact a Section 106 reviewer with questions.

Regional archeologists respond to thousands of public inquiries regarding prehistoric and historic archeological sites in Texas. They offer archeological consultation to state agencies, professional and avocational archeologists, landowners, teachers, heritage groups and interested individuals. They investigate important endangered sites dating from prehistoric times to the 20th century. They record archeological sites and monitor previously recorded sites to ensure their protection. The Archeology Division staff also engages in significant projects related to African American, Hispanic and Native American cultural resources.
