US Army Corps of Engineers

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) conducts and/or funds archaeological investigations for water-control projects that it undertakes or supports and in order to preserve, protect, and interpret archaeological and other cultural resources on the lands that it manages. This tDAR collection includes documents, images, data sets, and other kinds of information from archaeological and other cultural resource investigations. The data and information is organized by project and overall by the USACE district within which the work occurred. These districts typically are also where physical collections from such investigations are curated and managed.
