Utah is rich in archaeological heritage. From Danger Cave, one of the oldest habitation sites in North America, to a little studied contact point of Fremont and Anasazi cultures in Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, opportunities abound for an exciting, challenging experience in prehistory.
The Utah Statewide Archaeological Society (USAS) is an organization conceived for the individual who is curious about or wants to learn more about archaeology and the state’s prehistoric cultures. It is dedicated to the study and preservation of Utah’s past.
USAS had its beginnings when Dr. Jesse Jennings organized the Statewide Archaeological Survey in 1951. Today we are a group of 300 individuals dedicated to learning about and preserving our heritage.
