Notes

History of the Society

In 1947, a group of professional archeologists, amateurs, history buffs, and relic collectors formed the New Hampshire Archeological Society to provide a place to pool their experience, their knowledge and their enthusiasm. Since then, the Society has supported the formation of the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources (NHDHR) and the State Conservation and Rescue Archaeology Program (SCRAP) a public participation program for archaeological research, management and education, administered by the Archaeology Bureau of the NHDHR.

Objective of the Society

The NHAS has the objective to promote, encourage, and stimulate the study of archaeology in New Hampshire. We also encourage the protection and preservation of archaeological sites, monuments, and artifacts.
