Please click on Application for Permit to Perform Archaeological Exploration on State-owned Lands to apply for a permit. Or you may contact Kristy Smith at 517-335-0393 or via e-mail at SmithK55@michigan.gov to request an application. Then,
  1. Verify that the application and all supporting documentation being prepared for submission are accurate and complete to the best of your knowledge;
  2. Sign and date the application;
  3. Make a photocopy of the application and all supporting documentation for your records; and

Keep in mind:
  • The applicant will not be contacted by either the DNR or the Office of the State Archaeologist unless there is a question concerning the application or supporting documentation.
  • The application process takes approximately 60 days from the date of the field request to the date of permit execution - this does not include the time involved to complete the initial application review.
  • A draft report detailing the results of the archaeological exploration must be submitted to the State Archaeologist for review and comment by the timeframe, as indicated on the permit.
  • A final report detailing the results of the archaeological exploration must be submitted to the State Archaeologist; the designated land administering division (Authorized Department Representative) of the DNR, as indicated on page two (2) of the permit; and to Kristy Smith, within 90 days after the Permittee's receipt of comments on the draft report from the State Archaeologist.
