Laboratory for Archaeological Microscopic Analysis
Low-power microscopy is essential in archaeological microwear analysis, providing a broad overview of macroscopic wear patterns and some microscopic traces. It offers an accessible way to study how past peoples used and modified tools, complementing the finer detail provided by high-power techniques. See here for more information.
High-power microscopy is a specialized archaeological tool that reveals microscopic traces invisible at low magnification. By examining fine details on artifacts, it uncovers how they were used, maintained, and modified, offering deeper insights into ancient lifeways. See here for more information.
Experimental archaeology bridges ancient tools and technologies with their creators, replicating and testing historical practices to reveal insights into the materials, methods, and decisions of past societies, shedding light on their ingenuity and daily lives. See here for more information.
As well as microscopic analysis and associated research methods, we also provide consultancy services in various forms of archaeological journalism ,public outreach, and science communication. For more details please check out the website for The Archaeologist's Teacup
