Research in the South Florida Archaeology and Ethnography program is multifaceted. We conduct primary archaeological field investigations across southern Florida, including the Caribbean, assist colleagues in research projects throughout Florida, and provide collections access to scientific researchers affiliated with established research and/or educational institutions.

Visiting researchers utilize the Florida Ethnographic Collection to explore rich Miccosukee and Seminole cultural heritage through the vast collection of patchwork clothing, baskets, and historical documents such as photographs and postcards.
