About Us

The Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, Inc. (AHC) is a Florida not-for-profit organization dedicated to the investigation and preservation of archaeological and historical sites across Florida and the Bahamas.

In 1985, AHC began its first project with excavations at the Cutler Fossil site in Miami-Dade County, and subsequently has documented over 1000 sites throughout Florida. Projects have included investigations at the Miami Circle, Ten Thousand Islands, the Ortona Canals, Fort Pierce, Okeechobee Battlefield and Fort Van Swearingen. To our expertise on prehistoric Florida and Seminole War sites we have added investigations in the Bahamas as a key element in our research program.

The Archaeological and Historical Conservancy conducts archaeological and historical assessments, surveys, investigations, excavations, and monitoring. These services are provided for public agencies, developers, businesses, and museums. The Conservancy also provides site management plans, tours of sites, and exhibit design and development.

AHC is a General Services Administration contract holder. To see our catalog go to www.gsaadvantage.gov, search for our contract number GS-10F-0113W under services, and click on View Contractor Information.
