FARC is a group made up of professional and avocational archaeologists interested in north-central Ohio archaeology. Our mission includes: documenting and conserving archaeological sites and material within the State of Ohio, especially within the region bordering Lake Erie; conducting field, laboratory, statistical, and literature review activities; encouraging an understanding and cooperation between members of the organization and individuals who own property upon which archaeological sites may occur; fostering a better understanding of the scientific interests and promoting cooperation among and between professional and avocational archaeologists, students interested in anthropology, and collectors of archaeological material; developing productive relationships with museums, educational institutions, relevant government agencies, and private organizations engaged in archaeological research; disseminating knowledge on the subject of archaeology; and engendering an appreciation in the general public of the importance of archaeology in understanding the human history of the Lake Erie region.
