The Palinski Excavation of the University of Alpha Centauri was an archaeological expedition which retrieved artifacts from the ruins dating to the Pre-Neskoromny Era on the planet Tagus III. This excavation occurred prior to the sealing of the ruins by the Taguan government in the mid-23rd century. (TNG: "Qpid")
Information on this excavation's work on Tagus III is from an okudagram titled Tagus III Archaeological Notes which was perused by Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 2367.
This excavation was named after costumer Maurice Palinski.
