Kentucky Archaeological Registry Program

Most archaeological sites in Kentucky, and therefore most of what remains of our cultural heritage, are located on private property.  To recognize private landowners who care for these sites, the Kentucky Heritage Council created the Kentucky Archaeological Registry.

Since 1987, the registry has recognized 20 archaeological sites.  These include a square earthwork, an oval earthwork, burial mounds and village sites.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Kentucky Archaeological Registry or if you think your site may qualify for listing, contact contact Gwynn Henderson of the Kentucky Archaeological Survey, 859-257-1919.
