Current Research in Tennessee Archaeology

The Tennessee Division of Archaeology is pleased to announce the annual Current Research in Tennessee Archaeology (CRITA) event will take place on January 24, 2026 at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville, Tennessee. This meeting provides a day-long showcase for professional archaeologists, students, and the interested public to learn about recent research into Tennessee's archaeological heritage, and is free and open to the public.

The January 2026 CRITA event has been postponed due to winter storms. Information about rescheduling the event will be shared as soon as possible.
