Working at archaeological sites
Studies of sedimentology and stratigraphy, sample collection, etc.
Working in the laboratory
The characterisation and identification of pottery and stone materials and classical-period mortars; the dating of pottery by preparing samples; undertaking analyses and obtaining thermoluminescence analytical data; the preparation and interpretation of the data in reports, studies or projects:
- Optical microscopy (thin section)
- Macroscopic observation (binocular loupe)
- Elementary chemical analysis
- Electronic microscopy
- X-ray diffraction
- Cathodoluminescence
- Isotope analysis
- Thermoluminescence (for pottery dating)
- Refraction index determination (refractometry)
- Absorption spectrum determination (spectroscopy)
- Macroscopic observation (stereo-microscopy)
