Major work in progress includes the stabilization of the South Florida Dig Collection and the establishment of an electronic database to be placed online. The database will feature site descriptions and photographs of associated artifacts.

A joint project has been established with the Florida Anthropological Society for indexing all back issues of their journal, The Florida Anthropologist. This online index will provide researchers with better access to over fifty years of published work relating to Florida, the Southeastern United States, and the Caribbean.

The Museum is currently negotiating to acquire on loan the most complete collection of independently assembled material relating to the Miami Circle. Included along with an accurate, detailed, and unique scale model of the site are hundreds of photographs taken while the dig was in progress.

The advanced field crew from the Department of Paleontology will be departed on June 17th for digs in Harding County, South Dakota. Initial reports from the field indicate that a juvenile Triceratops has been discovered. For more details see the teams Online Field Journal.

Details and photographs from our 2001 dig will be posted in the near future. The highlight of that seasons work was marked by the paleo teams assisting Dr. Robert T. Bakker in uncovering a major dinosaur trackway on Como Bluff, Wyoming.
