​Colorado program for avocational archaeological certification

From the History Colorado website (click link):  The Program for Avocational Archaeological Certification (PAAC) is a mutually beneficial educational program for avocational and professional archaeologists. Established in 1978 by the Colorado Archaeological Society (CAS) and the Office of the State Archaeologist of Colorado (OSAC), it allows CAS members and other citizens to obtain formally recognized levels of expertise outside of an academic degree program.  It also facilitates avocational public service and assistance in education, governmental management of cultural resources, research, and the protection of archaeological resources in Colorado.  PAAC complements, but does not replace, existing university and governmental training programs.  Please see the Commonly Asked Questions section for answers concerning enrollment, cost and locations.
