A Computer Based Physical Measurement and Imaging Laboratory for Undergraduate Archaeology

建立物理测量和成像实验室， 宾夕法尼亚印第安纳州大学的考古学项目 将为学生提供两个领域的培训， 提供给其他地方的本科生。 第一，收集和 管理大量的考古数据， 基于计算机的自动数据收集系统。 这些是 成为大型考古项目的典型，但只有 很少有使用这些武器的培训。 第二 实验的重点是关于教学和分析 图像数据。 这将有两个目的，首先是允许 分析方法和技术的教学 通过高分辨率图像的整体伪影形状，第二， 允许大团体的性质和分析的指令， 骨骼和结石上的微磨损（使用视频显微镜） 工具.

Creation of a Physical Measurement and Imaging Laboratory for the Archaeology Program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania will provide training for students in two areas that are not offered to undergraduates elsewhere. First, the collection and management of large amounts of archaeological data using a computer based automatic data collection system. These are becoming typical of large archaeological projects, but only rarely is any training in their use available. The second focus of the lab is on instruction about, and the analysis of image data. This will have a twofold purpose, first to allow the teaching of methods and techniques involved in analyzing overall artifact shape via high resolution images, and second, to allow instruction of large groups in the nature and analysis of microwear (using video microscopy) on both bone and stone tools.
