The mission of the Archeology Division is to preserve, enhance, explore, and interpret Nebraska's archeological resources for the benefit of the public and the advancement of science.

The Archeology Division is the clearinghouse for archeological activity within the state. The division maintains a master file of all archeological projects conducted and sites discovered in the state and curates primary records from NSHS research as well as that of various other individuals, agencies, and institutions. Staff are actively involved in field and laboratory research and most of these efforts are conducted on a contract basis to governmental agencies and private concerns involved in land modification projects. The division manages and analyzes archeological collections recovered primarily through NSHS fieldwork. The division provides access to records and collections for students and professionals and offers public education programs.
