Archeology Inc. located at the Pensacola Archeology Lab (PAL) is a nonprofit corporation established for three major purposes: archeological research, education, and publication. These goals are reached by developing hypotheses in the lab and testing them in the field. As we are educated so we educate. We share with interested people through participation and publication. Based in Florida, our research interests range throughout the New World. Funding for PAL research is obtained through grants, contracts, sponsorships and donations.

PALs research explores the lifeways of prehistoric aboriginal populations, as well as the European exploration, conquest, and colonization of the Western Hemisphere.

RESEARCH / PUBLICATIONS

Archeological research is the core of PAL's mission. The other aspects, education and publication, are directly linked to this research. The research is multifaceted and ranges widely from studies of the first human groups to enter the New World to steamboat wrecks of the 19th century. We have found that the best way to share the discoveries at PAL is to publish our results. We accomplish this through the PAL JOURNAL on our Web Page, as well as books, newspaper articles, and television interviews. Please make sure to credit the PAL Journal when referencing these articles and research notes. Examples* *1998 Pinson, L.C. and Steve Newby "Remote Sensing Equipment."

EDUCATION

PAL's motto for education is; As we are educated, so we educate. Most of our teaching involves hands-on learning of the more one-on-one kind. We maintain a small, informal, volunteer, intern program where students, young and old, can get a taste of archeology. We also consistently update our Web Page so that people around the world can follow our explorations and discoveries. The following are educational briefs that further the PAL education mission.
