Research & Scholarship
At the Mitchell Prehistoric Indigenous Archaeological Site & Museum, we believe that education should be accessible to everyone. As stewards of an important archaeological resource, we are committed to sharing knowledge openly and responsibly. Making these studies, reports, and research materials freely available is an extension of that mission—ensuring that students, educators, researchers, and community members have equitable access to the archaeological record and to the stories it continues to tell.
Additional works will continue to be uploaded here as they are scanned and digitized.
