About this Platform

This online platform is a central hub for managing and exploring metadata information about analytical services and activities in the archaeometry community. It features number of digital collections essential for data reusability and reproducibility. This includes service, scientific instrument, analyitcal protocol, laboratory, software, reference material, dataset, and publication.

This initiative has been developed within the framework of National Research Data Infrastructure for Archaeological Objects (NFDI4Objects) , undertaken by the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum.

Who is it for?

Laboratory practitioners

Laboratory staff can use the platform to:

  • Register scientific instruments with unique persistent identifiers.
  • Define and document analytical protocols.
  • Expose their analytical services to the public and improve their accessbility.

Archaeologists

Archaeologists gain a single access point to:

  • Discover laboratories offering relevant analytical services.
  • Identify suitable analytical techniques for specific archaeological samples.
  • Match research questions with appropriate laboratory capabilities.

Current participating institutions

The database currently includes services from the following institutions:

Growing the community

We aim to expand the platform by engaging with a broader community of archaeometry laboratories and researchers. Laboratories and research groups interested in contributing their services and metadata profiles are warmly invited to join by contacting
