 Archaeological Analytical Research Facilities Biological Anthropology Research Facilities Archaeological Analytical Research Facilities  The Archaeological Analytical Research Facility provides infrastructural and analytical support for research and teaching by faculty and students in the Department of Anthropology at Binghamton University. The Facility consists of a laboratory complex located on the second floor of the South Wing, in the Science 1 Building on the University campus. The purpose-built, multi-room laboratory complex (Rooms 201, 201A, 203, and 205) houses a number of collections, and provides equipment and work space for individual and group projects. The focal collection includes over 300 vertebrate skeletons, housed in Room 201A. These comparative zooarchaeological materials are accessed for research and teaching by faculty, students, and interested members of the public. The core of the collection includes approximately 250 accessioned skeletons, most of which are disarticulated and curated in appropriately labeled and taxonomically-ordered collections boxes. A representative sample of articulated and mounted specimens is also located throughout the main collections room for display and study. The bulk of accessioned specimens represent common and local taxa from the Northeastern United States, in addition to representative specimens from other areas of North America.. An additional number of comparative specimens are available for study. These include taxa collected by departmental archaeologists in the course of their field research, and include examples from South America, West Africa, and the Arctic. Other comparative materials include an expanding collection of invertebrate specimens,  primarily from the western neotropics, as well as a variety of modern butchery specimens and variously modified examples for taphonomic research. The collections are regularly accessed during undergraduate and graduate teaching, in addition to tours by non-University organizations, visits by interested members of the public, and official use by various law-enforcement agencies in the course of routine investigations. The facility also is regularly accessed in the course of advanced training and research in zoorchaeology and taphonomy by graduate students at both the Masters and Doctoral levels. Advanced undergraduate students are especially encouraged to use these materials and available wet lab space for original, independent research projects during their junior and senior years. Many of these projects have formed the basis for Senior Honor's Theses and subsequent publication in international journals. The facility also houses teaching collections, including ceramic and pottery, lithics, and the departmental slide compilation, which are available on a sign-out basis for faculty and students. These are housed in an adjacent room (205), which also includes microscopes and illuminated lenses, digital balances, geological screens, cameras, and various forms of lab equipment for independent research projects. Limited work space, computer facilities, and temporary curation of study collections are also available in Room 205. The facility is also equipped with an Olympus Zoom microscope with attached photographic abilities, along with various IBM-compatible equipment to support computer-aided graphics in Room 203. Teaching and study space are available throughout the various rooms of the facility.

There are a total of eight facilities (described below), which add a unique research and training dimension to the Department's programs. The facilities are located in both Science 1 and Science 3 buildings. These facilities consist of wet (4) and dry (4) laboratories. The wet laboratories are recently renovated state-of-the-art facilities for microbial, cellular and molecular studies at biosafety levels 1, 2 and 3 for forensic DNA identification and ancient DNA studies. The dry laboratories are for paleontological, osteological, physiological and morphological (growth) studies. A large amount of research is conducted through these facilities and their collections. The research represented is international in scope and much is connected with ongoing field research programs in Latin America (Bolivia, Brazil), Europe (Georgia), Asia and the Pacific Islands (China, Siberia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia), Africa (Kenya, South Africa) and the USA. In addition, a biomedical anthropology core facility is being developed adjacent to the wet labs and shared clinical research space for outpatient studies in another building is currently under discussion. Biomedical Anthropology and Neurosciences Laboratory (Science 3). The facilities consist of Biosafety Level 2/3 wet laboratories with a focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in late onset disorders such as Guam ALS, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, and infectious diseases of unknown etiology. Facilities include a suite of three labs for tissue culture and PCR, Light microscopy, and molecular biology.  BioArchaeology Laboratory (Science 1). This research facility allows students to work with skeletons on loan from museums. Current research encompasses the broad fields of paleodemography, paleopathology, including infectious diseases, trauma and anemia, and taphonomy. The lab is fully equipped with osteometrics tools, microscopes and computers. Clinical Research Laboratory. This facility, currently under development, will be shared with Bioengineering and Nursing, and will include research, teaching and practicums in the areas of anthropometry, growth and development, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and lifestyle stress, neurodegenerative diseases, women's health, rural health, and migrant health. Forensic Anthropology Laboratory (Science 1). The facilities consist of a full-sized teaching laboratory, a large research laboratory and a secure evidence room. Teaching materials include 20 complete human skeletons, casts, comparative faunal material, and pathological specimens. The research laboratory is fully equipped for forensic casework and research in taphonomy, trauma, biomechanics and osteology. The lab includes microscopes, computers, osteometrics equipment, casts, fume hoods, and an x-ray machine. Forensic DNA Identification Laboratory (Science 3). This facility is dedicated to forensic DNA identification to complement existing forensic casework in the Department. It is, by necessity, a separate functional laboratory removed from the possibility of cross-contamination from other ongoing DNA research. Human Adaptability and Human Variation Laboratory (Science 1). This facility is a primary teaching laboratory for understanding physiological and morphological variation in human populations. Training equipment is available for blood physiological studies, blood glucose levels, respiratory function, temperature regulation, morphological growth, and skin reflectometry. Molecular Anthropology Laboratory (Science 3). This facility consists of wet labs for both ancient and modern DNA research with the latest direct sequencing and PCR equipment. The facility also includes ongoing research in pharmacogenetics and malaria based on individual and population variation to pharmacological agents.   Molecular Anthropology and Ancient DNA Laboratory (Science 3). The facilities consist of wet lab and analytical computer lab space. Facilities include ancient DNA extraction and PCR labs as well as separate contemporary DNA extraction, PCR, and genotyping labs. Equipment is available for direct sequencing of DNA, SNP discovery and for SNP-, RFLP-, and STR-typing as well as for the analysis of these data. Paleoanthropology and Skeletal Biology Laboratory (Science 1). This facility houses extensive skeletal material, including skulls and mounted skeletons of monkeys and apes and other nonhuman primates. Human skeletal research and teaching resources include mounted skeletons, a number of unmounted skeletons, and a variety of skeletal specimens. Paleoanthropological resources include casts of most of the major hominid fossils that can be used for both teaching and research.    Back to top Last Updated April 7, 2003  |
