Join Us for a Hands-On Project to Refresh and Restore!
Are you looking for a fun and rewarding way to give back to the community? The Archaeological Research Institute is looking for volunteers to help restore our Lab space. We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist with sanding and painting cabinets, shelves, and benches.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Sanding: Help us smooth out surfaces, prep wood for painting, and get rid of any old paint or rough patches in our lab space.
- Painting: Apply fresh, smooth coats of paint to cabinets, shelves, and benches to make them look as good as new.
- Cleanup: Assist in keeping the workspace tidy and organized, ensuring we’re leaving everything in top condition.
Skills & Experience Needed:
- No prior experience is necessary-just a willingness to get involved and a positive attitude!
- Volunteers should be comfortable working with basic hand tools (sandpaper, brushes, rollers) and be prepared to get a little paint on their hands.
- We’ll provide instructions and guidance for each step, so you’ll have the support you need.
Why You Should Volunteer:
- Make an Impact: You’ll be directly contributing to the upkeep of an important space, improving the environment for everyone who uses it.
- Team Spirit: Work alongside a team of friendly volunteers and gain a sense of accomplishment as you transform the area.
- Fun & Flexible: Whether you're coming for a few hours or the whole day, we appreciate your help and enthusiasm!
What to Bring:
- Comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting a bit messy.
- If you have gloves or a dust mask, feel free to bring them along (but we’ll also provide supplies).
When: Would preferably like to have done on a Thursday or Friday.

Mission Statement
To educate future and current generations about the ancient cultures of the tristate region through identification, preservation, and archaeological investigations of sites in this region.
Description
ARI is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit institution dedicated to research into Native American sites in the Indiana-Ohio-Kentucky region. Located in Indiana, ARI operates offices and labs in Lawrenceburg, IN, and is currently supporting excavations at the Guard site, a nearby early Fort Ancient Village, near the mouth of the Great Miami River. These excavations are conducted under the supervision of professional archaeologists, and there are professional archaeologists with extensive experience in Fort Ancient studies on ARI’s board.
ARI was created by passionate local avocational and professional archaeologists that have witnessed the unfortunate destruction of many important and sacred prehistoric sites in the area. Sites that continue to be destroyed due to a lack of knowledge and appreciation of the rich and extensive history that exists in our region prior to colonial settlement. ARI’S passionate founding members felt that an organization that focused on providing educational opportunities to the public through hands-on experiences, literature, lectures, tours, a learning center, and other digital educational tools that an informed and appreciative community could be cultivated. Thereby resulting in better stewardship of our region’s cultural resources.
