ABOUT \u00b7 FACILITIES AND COLLECTIONS<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facilities & Collections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ANDlab employs laboratory and teaching spaces, photographic and computing equipment, and contemporary digital tools to support archaeological documentation, field research, data analysis, and teaching. At the same time, it is developing collections and research resources that support the study and interpretation of the past. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Documentation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Laboratory supports the systematic photographic and digital documentation of archaeological objects and research materials. The available equipment enables controlled photography, the production of high-resolution images, and the implementation of photogrammetric workflows for the creation of three-dimensional models. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Data Analysis & Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Laboratory\u2019s digital infrastructure supports image processing, the creation and analysis of three-dimensional models, spatial analysis, and research data management. It makes use both of specialised applications provided through the University of Patras and of open-source software solutions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Research & Teaching Spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Laboratory\u2019s facilities are distributed across dedicated research and documentation spaces and shared teaching facilities within the Department of History and Archaeology. They support individual and collaborative research, practical training, workshops, and digitally enhanced teaching. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
