South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology
Home Page
The South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA) was established in 1963 as a University of South Carolina research institute and a State cultural resource management agency. As the latter, it serves as the main State agency concerned with South Carolina's Prehistoric and Historic Archaeology, and its discovery, study, revelation, and official safekeeping at a curatorial facility. As a University research institute, SCIAA initiates and conducts a broad range of field research and collections research throughout the State, participates in a very wide range of USC activities and duties, and contributes to the University infrastructure, and the USC publication series.
