Wiener Laboratory

The Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory for Archaeological Science operates on our main campus in a new state-of-the-art facility inaugurated in 2016. The Lab serves the interests of archaeological scholars both in Greece and abroad. Its research and cutting-edge scientific analysis, through over 150 sponsored projects to date under our fellowship scheme and numerous studies from independent researchers, have helped us better understand the past.
