The ICAC has scientific laboratories and technical infrastructures to develop its research and collaborate with other centers and institutions.
Bioarchaeology Lab
The Bioarchaeology Laboratory (archaeobotany and zooarchaeology) has the necessary facilities and infrastructure for the study of bioarchaeological material (fauna, seeds, charcoals, etc.). Its facilities are used for teaching and research at the national and international levels.
It has reference collections of animal bones and seeds for the study of archaeological material, as well as reference atlases and equipment for optical microscopy and scanners. It has a dirty area for washing and floating materials and a clean area for their classification and analysis.
Its activity focus on:
- Information and advice on the treatment and study of bioarchaeological material
- Washing, flotation, and selection of sedimentary samples for obtaining charcoals and charred seeds
- Studies of bioarchaeological material
Computational Archaeology Lab
The Computational Archeology Laboratory is a facility created to support researchers interested in the development of computational applications for the study of the past: geospatial applications (remote sensing and GIS), geostatistics, 3D reconstruction and modeling, network analysis, simulation and artificial intelligence applications (machine learning, deep learning).
Members of this lab collaborate in the design and development of specific computer applications for research projects in archaeology.
Archaeometry and Lithic Materials Laboratory
Related to the Archaeometric Studies Unit activity, this laboratory focuses on optimizing analytical techniques for their application to archaeological materials, as well as experimenting with new techniques to assess their usefulness and archaeological profitability.
