Antonio J. Waring, Jr. Archaeological Laboratory

The Antonio J. Waring, Jr. Archaeological Laboratory was constructed in 1991 to serve as the university-based repository for existing and future archaeological materials generated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Department of Transportation, and other agencies and organizations conducting field research at Georgia archaeological sites. Organized within the Department of Anthropology at the University of West Georgia, the Waring Laboratory operates in compliance with federal regulations for Archaeological Curation and Collections Management (36 CFR 79) and accepts new collections for curation in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and other state and federal statutes and regulations. The laboratory is the repository for approximately 5,000 cubic feet of artifacts and records from archaeological sites across Georgia and welcomes professional research use of these collections.
