Oklahoma Archaeological Site Files
Archaeological sites have been recorded in every county across Oklahoma, representing over 12,000 years of occupation by prehistoric and early historic populations. The Oklahoma Archeological Survey (OAS) serves as the state's repository for data on these unique, nonrenewable resources. These data are captured in thousands of site forms, reports, maps, and other documents. This page provides guidance on the various ways one may access our records.
