The 9th annual Indiana Archaeology Month will be a state-wide celebration during September. The many events for the public have the theme "Preserving Indiana's Past." This year's commemorative poster focuses on the different ways that archaeologists preserve information about Indiana's past and highlights the office of the Indiana State Archaeologist, the DHPA.  Through our work, the work of the many archaeologists working in our state, and the support of the public, we will continue to learn about the rich and varied cultures that make up Indiana's past, and in many ways have helped shape the future.

The latest news about Indiana Archaeology Month, including a calendar of events, orders for posters and T-shirts, can be found at: http://www.in.gov/dnr/historic/archeomonth.html or call the Indiana DHPA at 317/232-1646.

In 2003, over 5,400 people attended Indiana Archaeology Month activities, and we hope that as many or more will enjoy the many opportunities that are going to be available during this coming September.
