Instrumentation

The Archaeogeophysics Laboratory at Ithaca College contains a full suite of ground-based remote sensing instruments, soil sampling tools, and analysis software. This laboratory is one of only a handful of laboratories to contain all of these instruments. Acquisition of these instruments were supported by Oregon State University, Ithaca College, and National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation grant # 0722572:
