Arizona State Museum administers the Arizona Antiquities Act and state laws concerning the discovery of human remains. In fulfillment of these responsibilities, ASM issues permits for archaeological work on state lands (lands owned or controlled by Arizona or any agent of Arizona), negotiates the disposition of archaeological human remains, maintains an archaeological site file, and provides repository services for the curation of archaeological collections.

This section contains information for the professional archaeological consultant. If you are a private land owner dealing with the discovery of human remains on your property or if you are a property developer, please see Private Land Development.

Here you will find information on how to obtain an archaeological permit, access site files, request repository services, or request help with repatriation issues. You will also find information on state and federal laws, including NAGPRA.
