Archeological Review

Overview

The Environmental Review Primer for Connecticut’s Archaeological Resources is the only official guidance for archaeological investigations in Connecticut. Find your copy here.

We provide this general guidance for compliance-driven archaeological work. SHPO relies upon the well-reasoned methodologies and professional reporting of your project consultant. If you have concerns about the particular nature of a project, please begin a dialogue with our office early in the process.
