Research Facilities
CMRAE member institutions house a network of shared facilities for materials research and data processing in several fields, including labs in art conservation, ceramics, lithics, materials characterization, metallurgy, paleoethnobotany, paleoenvironments, palynology, zooarchaeology, and remote sensing. The center's primary facility is the CAM Graduate Lab, located at MIT, designed for lab instruction and student projs as well as research. In addition to a large number of polarizing, metallographic and biological microscopes, the lab is equipped for photography, and specimen preparations, including thin sections. Comparative collections to provide standards for identification and analysis of archaeological remains are being developed. Facilities for Visiting Scholars: Study space is available; access to collections and instrumentation require advance arrangement; opportunities for graduate and postdoctoral research supervised by CMRAE staff.
