The Center involves students in research projects, providing hands-on experience in 考古.

Ground-breaking research at sites like Old Mobile and Port Dauphin revealed much about Alabama's earliest colonial history. The rapid pace of modern development has also led us to study sites like Bottle Creek, the Exploreum, and Dog River Bridge, where Indigenous People, French, British, Spanish, and Early American settlers left 他们在大地上留下的印记.
