Because the vast majority of Iowa lands are privately owned, the University of Iowa Office of the State Archaeologist (OSA) Bioarchaeology Program relies a great deal on the stewardship of Iowans to protect known burial sites.

On behalf of the Indian Advisory Council and the OSA, we would like to recognize the stewards that have worked with the Bioarchaeology Program from 2020-2022.

Thanks all, for your stewardship!
