Inside the Laboratories That Reveal Ancient Secrets 🔷

How do archaeologists determine the age of a wooden artifact? What can ancient pollen reveal about a civilization that disappeared centuries ago?

Our archaeology fellows found the answers during a visit to the Institute of Archaeology, where they explored the laboratories that help researchers uncover the secrets of the past.

Among the highlights:

🔘 learning how dendrochronology uses tree rings to date archaeological finds and reconstruct historical events;
🔘 discovering how spectral analysis reveals the chemical composition of ancient artifacts;
🔘 visiting metallography and petrography laboratories, where scientists study metals, rocks, and minerals recovered during excavations;
🔘 getting acquainted with the archaeomagnetic method, which allows specialists to date archaeological features by tracking changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

For our fellows, this was a chance to see how archaeology today combines history, natural sciences, and cutting-edge technologies to bring the stories of past civilizations back to life.

The InteRussia Fellowship in Archaeology is implemented by Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund and the Institute of Oriental Studies with support from the Tavolga Foundation and the Presidential Grants Foundation.
