Earthslides Facility
Earthslides FacilityThe Earthslides Facility produces thin sections of ceramics and lithics for petrographic analysis, and thin sections of archaeological sediments in a range of sizes.
Thin section micromorphology is a technique that was originally developed in soil science, to look at the formation and structure of soils. It has become an increasingly used tool in archaeological contexts, to examine the formation processes of archaeological sediments and materials.
