Equipment of our Institute

An archaeological institute requires extensive equipment, as archaeology is highly practice-oriented. Excavations, artifact processing, surveying, drawing, and digital documentation and reconstruction require specialized tools, devices, and laboratory equipment. Without this infrastructure, scientifically sound work in teaching and research is not possible.
