Research labs and field schools
Bioarchaeology Field School at Fortress of Louisbourg
Our department hosts the UNB Bioarchaeology Field School program at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site of Canada in partnership with Parks Canada.
A multi-component field program
This hands-on bioarchaeological field experience includes:
- excavation methods and techniques
- field data recording
- ethical handling practices
Additionally, you will engage in the technical analyses of these skeletal remains through laboratory cataloguing, analysis, curation and storage.
Laboratories
We maintain four labs used for both research and teaching purposes.
- The George Frederick Clarke Archaeological Teaching Laboratory & Artifact Collection
- Biomedical and Human Evolution Research and Teaching Lab
- Bioarchaeology Research and Teaching (BART) Lab
- Archaeology Research (Enterprise) Lab
- Archaeology Research (Singer Hall) Lab: Supporting the analysis of archaeological materials from projects in the archaeological Northeast. It includes storage for artifacts and records, a computer, a digital microscope, table space, a portable photo stand, reference materials, and a sink. It also provides space for Dr. Hrynick's lab group meetings.
Our goal is to train strong academic students and help them understand the comprehensive discipline of anthropology
We accomplish this by providing you with experiential learning and access to materials during laboratory classes and discussion sections.
By using lab-based environments as well as classrooms, you are allowed to:
- engage in learning
- participate more freely
- build skills in teamwork and professionalism
- focus on practical applications
