Zooarchaeology Lab

Zooarchaeology Lab

The UNLV Zooarchaeology Laboratory was established by Levent Atici in September 2008. The lab is located in Room 104 on the first floor of John S. Wright Hall - Building C. The lab offers students and researchers ample work and storage space for the analysis of archaeological animal bone assemblages from across the world. A yearly zooarchaeology laboratory course introduces the basic tenets of zooarchaeology and gives undergraduate and graduate students hands-on training and the ability to identify, document, analyze, interpret, and report archaeological animal bone assemblages. The lab also provides students a large corpus of faunal manuals, osteology atlases, books, and reprints related to zooarchaeological research.
