After several years of hiatus, TARL is excited and proud to reintroduce the Friends of TARL
Every day, TARL works to protect and document archaeological sites, collections, and historic records. We provide important educational opportunities to students so they can build their future careers. We ensure that millions of artifacts are cared for, that new sites are documented correctly, and that new research can be done.
We need your help!
