What time is it? SUMMERTIME!!

Spring 2026 has been a wild ride! We've moved boxes, bagged artifacts, entered data, got trucks stuck, visited elementary school career days, presented at conferences, welcomed post docs, defended dissertaions, drank lots of coffee, competed in March Mammal Madness, won grants, finished classes, designed museum exhibits, wrote books, enjoyed ice cream socials, visited sites, updated the Oaxaca database, scanned documents, assisted countless First Lego Leauge Teams, AND we got a new suburban!!!

We can't wait to see what Summer 2026 has in store; stay tuned for more!

What would you listen to if you were in the lab?

Personally, sorting historic artifacts always makes me want to listen to the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack.

Happy World Book Day from the UGA Laboratory of Archaeology! 📖

Our team members have been sharing their favorite reads, spanning cultural anthropology, military history, folklore, genetics, and even fantasy. Because great archaeologists are curious about everything, not just what's in the ground.

Throwback Thursday: Some of our favorite memories come from the field: the early mornings, the dirt under your fingernails, and the thrill of not knowing what the next few centimeters might hold.
