Development of Undergraduate Archaeology Laboratory

该项目正在升级该机构沃什伯恩本科人类学实验室的考古教学实验室。基于现代考古学既是一个实验室也是一门野外科学的前提，并且现有的大量博物馆藏品应该有效地用于教学，该项目还通过安装学生工作站来升级Washburn实验室现有的大型教学室。每个工作站由一组计算机工作站（带有关系数据库软件）、天平、卡尺和显微镜组成。工作站也联网，并通过服务器连接到校园范围的光纤网络。结果的传播包括编写实验室手册，在专业会议上向同事介绍论文和报告。

This project is upgrading the archaeological teaching laboratory in the Washburn Undergraduate Anthropology Laboratories at the institution. Based on the premises that modern archaeology is as much a laboratory as a field science, and that existing, extensive museum collections should be efficiently used in teaching, the project is also upgrading the existing large teaching room in the Washburn Labs through the installation of student workstations. Each station is comprised of a constellation of computer workstation (with relational database software), balance, calipers, and microscope. The workstations are also networked, and connected via a server to the campus-wide fiber optic network. Dissemination of results includes preparation of laboratory manuals, and presentation of papers and reports to colleagues at professional meetings.
