WEST VIRGINIA ARCHEOLOGICAL SOCIETY
Members of the West Virginia Archeological Society shall endeavor to prevent the destruction of archeological sites, both historic and prehistoric. If and when excavation is necessary, this should be done under proper supervision and in keeping with the highest standards of archeological fieldwork. Members of the Society shall discourage promiscuous collecting of artifacts (either Indian or historic relics). The collecting of artifacts shall be considered solely incidental to and as an aid in the study of and dissemination of information concerning West Virginia Archeology.
