​In recent years, the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Lab at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum has developed web pages designed to make archaeological data easily available to researchers and the public.  We currently have several different web sour​ces available, ranging from artifact identification tools to artifact and paleobo​​tanical databases. A short description and links are provided below for each of these web resources.
