The Palisades Museum of Prehistory (PMOP), incorporated in
Washington DC, is a non-profit regional organization dedicated
to promoting the awareness and preservation of prehistoric
artifacts in the Palisades of Washington DC. The PMOP will
accomplish its mission by providing information, education, and
archaeological guidance. In addition to curation and
preservation of prehistoric artifacts, the PMOP will assemble a
