So you have found a site, you have looked at some artifacts, and you are concerned for the site. Archaeologists are concerned when sites look like they may be damaged through erosion, theft, or other forces both human and naturally caused. If a site looks like it is threatened, you can report that to the Utah State Historic Preservation Office. We will make every effort to connect you to the agency that manages that land so your report will reach the people in charge. We will need the following information when you make your report:
- The location of the site
- A picture and written description of the problems
- Optionally, your contact information so we can follow up with more information
If you know the land managing agency whose land you’re on, follow this link to find out who you can report to. They will likely want the same information as above.
