South Florida Archaeological Collection
The Museum has been active in the study of Archaeology, especially focused on the South Florida area. The central element of this undertaking revolves around the South Florida Archaeological Collection. This collection has been the basis for scholarly articles, graduate study, and the continued investigation of the original pre-contact inhabitants of South Florida.


Educational Archaeological Collection
Along with the original Archaeological items the museum holds, we also have high-quality replica objects that are used for educating the young and old alike. We use these items for our outreach programs, and birthday parties to help educate the public about Archaeology. These activities include excavating dig boxes for artifacts, and learning about the original Native American inhabitants of Florida.


Practical Hints for Archaeologists

Public Archaeology (CRM)
Public Archaeology also know as Cultural Resource Management (CRM) is one of the major processes by which archaeology is undertaken in today’s rapidly developing world. This type of Archaeology represents both one of the major employers of Archaeologists and a chance for volunteers to become involved in Archaeology; however, it is not without its ethical questions.
