Gulf Archaeology Research Institute

Gulf Archaeology Research Institute (GARI) is a 501(c)(3) research and education organization consisting of three operational divisions (Social, Biological, and Physical Sciences) whose combined research efforts permit the institute to take a holistic approach to the studying the past. We combine archaeology, natural history, ecology, hydrology, and sedimentology to comprehensively investigate past peoples and the environments they inhabited. Good things happen with small organizations such as GARI who design and conduct applied research that leads to sound conservation and protection of cultural and natural resources that leads to sound management. Our forward looking research ethic demands that research should lead to definitive outcomes and applications that help our planet in meaningful ways.
