The Archaeological Society of Central Oregon (ASCO) is
a group of amateur, avocational and professional archaeologists who share common
interests in the history and prehistory of Central Oregon. ASCO was organized
in January 1994 and has a current membership of about 175. Our primary goal is
to stimulate public interest in preservation of, and research into our past life
ways. Society members believe that through their participation they can help
conserve and bring to life many of the vanishing pages of history for future
generations.
