Basic and advanced training in Archaeometry
The Archäometrie Kolleg is an initiative of the University of Tübingen and the Curt-Engelhorn Centre for Archaeometry in Mannheim sponsored by the Klaus Tschira Foundation. Its mission is to offer basic and advanced training courses on selected archaeometric subjects.
Once a year, this is done in the form of a basic boot camp, which provides an overview and basics. And in spring and fall, workshops give a deeper insight into a selected field or subject. The goal is to share and spread the knowledge about archaeometry as a cornerstone of cultural research.
