Does the updated Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Rule have you in a bind? If so, we can help by creating inventories and reviewing collections to identify artifacts most likely to be culturally sensitive.

We also offer day-long educational seminars geared towards helping laboratory and field staff better identify pre-contact artifact classes, projectile point types, and lithic materials.

If we can help you with your site or artifact collections please reach out to Egghead Archaeological Consulting at: cpegghart@gmail.com
