It is our practice to promote archaeological inquiry, public understanding, and awareness of the study of past cultures and life ways of the Desert Southwest.
It is our hope that students and volunteers will assist us in making significant contributions to investigations through field and laboratory methods in a hands-on and educational setting.
All proceeds and donations are used for site upkeep, the development of educational exhibits, and field supplies and equipment only. MARI is a non-profit organization.
We look forward to working with the collections and building exhibits to help preserve and protect our cultural heritage.
