serves as a clearinghouse for archaeological collections recovered from
land-based and underwater projects conducted by State and Federal agencies
and other researchers throughout Maryland and is currently home to 9
million artifacts representing over 12,000 years of human occupation in
Maryland. All of these collections are available for research, education,
and exhibit purposes to students, scholars, museum curators, and educators

collections.
