Archaeozoology Laboratory
The newly-establishedÌýArchaeozoology LaboratoryÌýat the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Museum of Natural History provides a scientific facility for the identification and study of ancient faunal remains, in order to better understand the world we live in today. Our laboratory focuses on the study of animal domestication and the application of emerging technologies in archaeological science, including 3D scanning/visualization/printing, biomolecular archaeology, and collagen fingerprinting.Ìý
