Our Mission is to complete the processing, cataloging, analysis and study of approximately one million historic artifacts excavated at the site of the National Constitution Center between 2000 and 2003. Our work will not be complete until we have processed and analyzed every artifact recovered from the site and produced a comprehensive report detailing what we have learned from the project. Completing this project requires a tremendous effort by a large team of researchers including dedicated volunteers from the Philadelphia community.
