PAL Resources
As part of our mission to promote history and archaeology, we have compiled online resources free and accessible to the public.
Radiocarbon Dating Database
We maintain a comprehensive database of radiocarbon dates from samples recovered throughout the Northeast. This database, which is sorted and viewable by location, date, or site name, has proven to be an invaluable tool for students and archaeologists conducting research in the region. These tables may be viewed and printed with Adobe Reader software as PDFs.
Publications
We have selected a number of written materials to be available for public use, including technical reports and historical narratives. They may be viewed, downloaded, or printed by following the links below:
Sands of the Blackstone: A PaleoIndian Site in the Narragansett Bay Drainage
