The GNOAP is a resource for private and public property owners, planners, and concerned citizens about archaeological issues in the greater New Orleans area.

Our mission is to prevent the loss of the archaeological heritage of greater New Orleans through site documentation, preservation, research, and public education.  

The goals for the Greater New Orleans Archaeology program are:

  1. To conduct research and documentation of archaeological sites and features prior to their destruction;
  2. Be a regional and national resource for private landowners and those interested in New Orleans’ history;
  3. To prevent the loss of irreplaceable historical information through public education and preservation planning; and
  4. Diversify New Orleans’ preservation and tourism initiatives, broadening an appreciation for the city’s unique heritage.

 

The GNOAP is housed in the University of New Orleans’ Department of Anthropology, School of Urban Planning and Regional Studies and is a part of the Louisiana Regional Archaeology Program. Funding is made possible by the National Park Service, the Louisiana Division of Archaeology, and the University of New Orleans.
