Archaeological analysis of objects 

With every technique and gesture a craftsperson leaves traces in an object. 
Examining these traces we may differentiate spaces of artisanal communication, recognise how experienced a craftsperson is and how the raw material affects the process.
Most traces of the crafting process are visible macroscopically. If required we use archaeometrical and experimental methods to meet the requirements of your research questions.

Experiment Consulting Archeometry Archeology Switzerland Craftmanship Embodiement

Experiment

If necessary we combine our analyses with targeted experiments.
Would you like to perform an archaeological experiment and accompany it with scientific analyses?
Do not hesitate to contact us.
