Over the past few
decades, the Glenn Black Laboratory has developed considerable expertise in the
application of geoarchaeological and geophysical methods to solving
archaeological problems, believing that the integration of archaeology, earth
science, and information processing represents a critical new direction for
American archaeology. This multidisplinary approach to archaeological research
continues the mission of the GBL to lead Indiana archaeology by pioneering
innovative and visionary prehistoric research directions. With the current
personnel, background and institutional experience, the GBL is one of the
leaders in applying earth science and geophysics methods and practices to
archaeological research. The GBL now offers these services to the public and
Cultural Resources Management (CRM) firms to aid in protecting our cultural
heritage. From the standpoint of applied archaeology, the GBL has one of the
most extensive equipment lists, including drilling, coring, and sophisticated
geophysical instruments in all of the CRM industry and, more importantly, also
has the expertise and experience to efficiently and effectively use that
equipment in applied archaeological studies. Please contact
G. William Monaghan for more information on how geoarchaeology or
geophysical techniques can be integrated with specific archaeological
projects.
