Laboratory
AINW’s modern laboratory is capable of analyzing, processing, and storing multiple collections of artifacts and associated archaeological materials. Laboratory staff adhere to federal standards for processing, storing, and preparing materials and associated records for curation. The AINW lab also maintains comparative collections including faunal materials and experimental lithic materials.
AINW has a Blood Residue Analysis Laboratory, which conducts analyses to detect animal blood residues on stone (and other) artifact surfaces.
