School/College/Division Description

The Archaeological Research Laboratory Center follows directly from the Wisconsin Idea: that the university should promote the public welfare by providing information and exercising technical skills to inform public policy, conduct research on issues of importance to the peoples of the state, and communicate the results of our research to our multiple constituencies. Established in 1975 within the Anthropology Department and formalized as a Center in 2020, the ARLC programs effectively engages in the conservation and understanding of Wisconsin's 12,000 year-old archaeological and historical heritage.
