The Future of Archaeology

About the latest Innovations in the Field

This year, archaeology at Leiden University as well as in the Netherlands turns 200! Archaeology has always been at the forefront of technological innovation. So instead of only looking back, in this jubilee year Archaeology and Studium Generale focus on the future: from the use of isotope studies to 3D technologies bringing ancient sites to life.
