ARCHEO-IMAGING
LAB: SERVICE
       |
The Archeo-Imaging Lab offers a variety of services to the University, the surrounding community and state, and to national programs of archeological instruction. The lab consults and assists with teaching and research activities in other departments and institutions associated with the University of Arkansas. Educational outreach is achieved through use of lab facilities in booths and shows at University-sponsored events, during archeological events and fieldwork, and through participation in national workshops in archeological remote sensing.
COLLABORATION
IN ACTIVITIES WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS AND INSTITUTIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY
The Archeo-Imaging Lab regularly collaborates with the Arkansas Archeological Survey (AAS) in a variety of research and data collection projects throughout the state. The AAS possesses a full suite of geophysical survey equipment and extensive software for data processing, and includes trained personnel on their staff. These collaborations annually yield high quality geophysical results over large areas of culturally significant state and private properties.
