Venue Information



In 2006 the US Forest Service, the Kentucky Organization of Professional Archaeologists (KyOPA), and the Kentucky Archaeological Survey (KAS), which is jointly administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council and the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology, signed a memorandum of agreement to host and co-organize Living Archaeology Weekend. Prior to 2006, the US Forest Service funded, organized, and hosted Living Archaeology Weekend.

KyOPA has assumed primary responsibility for raising funds for Living Archaeology Weekend. In 2007, archaeological contract firms working in Kentucky provided the majority of funds needed to cover the expenses of the event. In 2008, KyOPA received several competitive grants and secured other funding from a wide range of organizations and individuals. A number of additional organizations and individuals provided in-kind contributions in 2008.

The Living Archaeology Weekend Steering Committee greatly appreciates the cash and in-kind contributions provided by each and every one of the sponsors, who are listed below in alphabetical order. Individuals and organizations who wish to contribute cash or in-kind services for the 2009 LAW event should contact Darlene Applegate, Chair of the KyOPA Living Archaeology Weekend Committee, at dapplegate@vci.net. No contribution is too small!
