Research Now and the Future
ARI Research
Jefferson County and the northwest Florida region have a long history of archaeological research focusing on the earliest human populations in Florida. Potential research includes climate and ecological studies for the past 40,000 years, development of human settlement patterns in the river corridors and upland areas, and early human-extinct animal interactions.

The Institute provides a residential home for researchers and students who will conduct fieldwork at the world-class paleontological, archaeological, and paleo-ecological sites in the area. Both inundated and terrestrial sites will be the focus of activity. Laboratory space for identification and analysis of artifacts and other specimens will be provided at the Center in addition to museum curatorial space where these collections will be housed.
