Archaeology
Please check back for the latest developments
in Archaeology at the Museum.
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.
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.
