Description

Australian Microarchaeology and Palaeosciences Facility (AusMAP). The Australian Microarchaeology and Palaeosciences Facility (AusMAP) aims to revolutionise our understanding of the human and environmental past through the innovative application of micro-excavation and 3D recording techniques allied with state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation. The research undertaken at AusMAP will significantly advance the way we study artefacts, fossils and sediments, maximising their potential using a novel micro-analytical approach. Expected outcomes of AusMAP include facilitating interdisciplinary and international collaboration and streamlining research and cultural resource management processes. This will provide significant benefits to our deep time understanding of the environment and history of humankind. . Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4301 - Archaeology. Lead: Prof Mike Morley
