PAAC Event Schedule

Please note: Since late 2016, the Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification (PAAC) has been going through changes to better serve the needs of the archaeological resources and the many stakeholders of those resources here in Colorado. The program will continue to progress in the coming months, there are a few updates of which to be aware:

“Field and Laboratory Photography” will no longer be a separate course. Content will be incorporated with “Archaeology Laboratory Techniques” and “Basic Site Surveying Techniques”. Stay tuned for updated curriculum.

“Perishable Materials” will eventually be split into multiple courses based on material type. Until new curriculum is available. The posted curriculum will be offered upon request.

New topics on the horizon: Project Archaeology; Geophysical Survey; Site Stewardship

If you are interested in helping update course, have suggestions for courses, or are interested in hosting a class, please contact Rebecca Simon at rebecca.simon@state.co.us.
