National Archaeological Data Repository

The National Archaeological Data Repository (NADR) is a comprehensive digital collection managed by the U.S. government that stores detailed information about archaeological sites and cultural heritage across the country. It serves researchers, archaeologists, and policymakers by providing accessible, standardized data on historic and prehistoric sites, artifacts, and research findings. The NADR helps protect cultural resources by supporting informed decision-making, ensuring data consistency, and facilitating collaboration in archaeological preservation efforts nationwide. Essentially, it’s a centralized, organized database that preserves America’s archaeological heritage for study and protection.
