The Maryland Archaeological
Conservation Laboratory (MAC Lab) is a state-of-the-art archaeological
research, conservation, and collections
storage facility located at the Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum
in southern Maryland. Curators estimate the facility contains 7 to
10 million artifacts; this estimate is continuously refined as the
inventorying of all collections proceeds. Almost all of these collections
were recovered from archaeological sites in Maryland and represent
a priceless part of the State’s rich heritage. |

The MAC
Lab serves as a clearinghouse for archaeological collections recovered
from land-based and underwater projects conducted by state and federal
agencies throughout Maryland. The MAC Lab also houses a number of
major collections acquired through private donation to the Maryland
Historical Trust. All of these collections are available for research,
education, and exhibit purposes to students, scholars, museum curators,
and educators. |
