The ARCO-OP can sponsor qualified archaeological research projects by means of its 501(c)3 charitable organization status. If you are interested in working with or through the ARCO-OP, please contact us with your written proposal. The Officers and Board Members of the ARCO-OP believe strongly in conservation of the archaeological record, so proposals do not have to involve fieldwork. ARCO-OP has funded museum research in the past.
