Welcome

Welcome to the home page for the Geoarchaeology Lab. This lab conducts research on archaeological questions using geoscience methods. These include petrographic, sedimentologic, paleontologic. Common analytical studies include particle size analysis (PSA), petrologic analyses using light microscopy and electron microscopy (SEM-EDS). Shallow geophysical instrumentation such as ground radar, electrical resistivity and conductivity, as well as magnetometry are available for limited scale studies and student training.The lab recently deployed drone mounted radar for the study of two prehistoric rock effigy mounds in Georgia. 

The Geoarchaeology Laboratory supports  undergraduate and graduate student research.
