The Program for Avocational Archaeological
Certification (PAAC) is designed to be a mutually beneficial educational
program for avocational and professional archaeologists. It was
established in 1978 by the Colorado Archaeological Society (CAS) and the
Office of the State
Archaeologist of Colorado. It provides a means for CAS members
and other citizens of Colorado to obtain formally recognized levels of
expertise outside of an academic degree program. It also facilitates
contributions by avocationalists to public service and assistance in
education, governmental management of cultural resources, research, and
the protection of archaeological resources in Colorado. PAAC's intent
is to complement, not replace, existing university and governmental
training programs.
