The Center for Archaeological Research Celebrates 50 Years!
Welcome to the Center for Archaeological Research's 50th Anniversary Timeline!
The Center for Archaeological Research (CAR) was created during the summer of 1974 with the goals of providing training and research opportunities through contract archaeology.
Since this small beginning CAR has become a State Certified curation facility, provided outreach programs to the larger South Texas community at events and summer camps, and has participated in or supported archaeological investigations in over 65 Texas counties, New Mexico, Louisiana, Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize. Follow CAR's accomplishments through the the last 50 years.
