The Laboratory for Archaeological Chemistry
occupies several rooms in the Department of Anthropology, including two
wet labs, a darkroom, an office, and storage space (Figure). There are
two primary rooms for archaeometric research: a lab for sample preparation
and an analysis lab,which has the major ICP instruments. The sample preparation
area is dedicated to processing samples for ICP and other types of analysis.
Equipment in this room includes a fume hood, muffle furnaces, a Millique+
water system for 18 meg-ohm deionized water, and necessary glassware and
chemical equipment. In addition to the ICP spectrometers in the Analysis
Laboratory, equipment includes analytical balances, soxhlet extraction
equipment for organic compounds, chromatographic equipment, a visual spectrometer,
a pH meter, ion-specific electrodes, and binocular microscopes.
