The White Mountain Archaeological Center was formed with the sole purpose of preserving Raven Site Ruins and curating the cultural material. Rather than rely on spotty and often non-existent government money, the Center's program allows anyone with an interest in archaeology to participate in the ongoing excavations and laboratory curation.
Students now come from all over the world.
All the ceramics, stone tools, and other cultural material from the ruin can be seen in the museum next to the site. It is a rare opportunity to view all the cultural material from a site displayed at the same location. The cataloging and reconstruction process is enormous. Every sherd, flake of flint and bit of bone must by cleaned photographed assigned a number and analyzed, then filed away in a system which is expandable and allows for quick access. To date literally millions of artifacts have been recovered from raven site ruins.
