The Center for Historic and Military Archaeology (CHMA) is an academic research and experiential learning program designed to reach beyond the traditional focus of undergraduate education. The CMHA provides a quality program for anthropological archaeologists focusing on historic and military archaeology and cultural resource management. The CHMA is now located within the Gillmor Hall. Its new facilities are commensurate with the nationally significant sites under study.
Since 1995, Heidelberg has been involved in the research and field work under the direction of Dr. G. Michael Pratt at the Fallen Timbers Battlefield Archaeological Project, playing a significant role in developing this historic site into a unit of the National Park System.
In 1999, Pratt began work on the Buffington Island Battlefield Archaeological Project, attempting to define the actual lines of engagement of the 1863 battle that led to the end of the northern raid by Confederate cavalry Gen. John Hunt Morgan.
Significant field research and/or study also has been conducted at Fort Miamis in Maumee, Fort Adams near Celina, Fort Meigs in Perrysburg, and River Raisin Massacre in Monroe, Mich. Additional archaeological investigations are being considered for other historic and military sites in Seneca Country and around the state of Ohio.
