April is National Safe Digging Month. The Ohio Archaeological Council reminds you of the importance of digging in a safe, responsible way by calling 8-1-1 before you dig.
In Ohio, any penetration of the ground with any hand or mechanical tool for an archaeological activity is digging and requires calling at least 48 hours and up to 10 days (not including weekends or legal holidays) before digging. Archaeologists are subject to fines and/or other penalties if the law is not followed.
To learn more about Ohio’s call-before-you-dig process visit the Ohio
Utilities Protection Service’s website at www.oups.org, the Ohio Oil and Gas Producers Underground Protection Service’s website at www.ogpups.org, or call 8-1-1 or (800) 362-2764.
Join us for our third regional conference on Hopewell Archaeology. This two-day event will feature presentations by Hopewell researchers from Ohio and across the Midwest. Presenters will discuss new insights into the lifeways of this most intriguing complex of ancient Ohio cultures, as well as synthesize the large body of data that have accumulated since the last Hopewell conference in 1993. Additional events include a Saturday evening banquet with keynote presentation by recognized Hopewell scholar, Dr. Mark Seeman. The bus tour has been cancelled.
