USA Archaeology Museum
Donate  Ground-breaking research at sites like Old Mobile and Port Dauphin has revealed much about Alabama's earliest colonial history. The rapid pace of modern development has also led us to sites like Bottle Creek, the Exploreum, and Dog River Bridge, where Indians and French, British, Spanish, and Early American settlers left their marks on the landscape. Students become involved in all of our research projects, getting hands-on experience outside of the classroom with the scientific methods of modern archaeology. Much of our understanding of the past comes from careful laboratory study of the artifacts found while digging. Besides this website, we communicate information on our findings through our occasional newsletters and frequent public lectures, publications, and through loans of artifacts for museum display. Contributions to the Center for Archaeological Studies support the research and the dissemination of our discoveries. Your tax-deductible contributions help save parts of our region's past that would otherwise be lost forever.
