OUR MISSION The mission of the Levantine Archaeology Laboratory is to encourage, conduct, and promote archaeological field and laboratory research conducted by U.C.S.D. archaeologists and related specialists. Archaeology at UCSD is an interdisciplinary and collaborative endeavor practiced by scholars who hold faculty and/or research positions in a variety of departments, ranging from Anthropology to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. FACILITIES The Levaninte Archaeology Lab is located in the Social Science Building, Room 130. Headed by Professor Thomas E. Levy, there are currently, 5 graduate student researchers and several undergraduates conducting research out of the facility. As a research laboratory, our mission is to facilitate and disseminate Levantine research by making use of resources, including laboratory facilities and study collections, to students and affiliated researchers; to develop resources that benefit archaeologists, academics and students, while being able to expand the support - laboratory, equipment, funding - for Levantine archaeological research. |

The Archaeology Lab is the center of activity for the Edom Lowland Project ct at UCSD. Artifacts and samples recovered from the field in Jordan have been transported here for analysis and preparation for long-term storage. Numerous square feet of laboratory and work space are dedicated to these tasks alone. Each quarter, courses are held in the lab, making it a center for both research and academic learning. |

The most recent addition to Levantine research at UCSD is the Levantine Zooarchaeology Lab. The laboratory was established in 2000 by Prof. Thomas Levy. Current contributions from Ad Muniz and Dr. Aharon Sasson have made this laboratory the newest addition for research and academic learning for our graduate and undergraduate students.
