Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA)

• The Division of Historical Resources does not maintain a list of professional archaeologists who are qualified to work in the State of Florida and/or who meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for federally involved archeological projects as specified in 36 CFR 61, Appendix A. The Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA) maintains a membership directory that may be useful in locating professional archaeological consultants (http://www.rpanet.org/). Many qualified archaeologists are not members of RPA and omission from the list does not imply that an archaeologist does not meet the Secretary’s Standards or that work would not be acceptable, and inclusion on the list is no guarantee that an archaeologist’s work will automatically be acceptable. As with any contractor you should request and check references and recent work history.
