Lab Use
Individuals interested in accessing the equipment should reach out to Lauren Klein to schedule an appointment. Currently, there is not bandwidth to train new users on instrumentation and equipment. Access for already trained users will vary, based on prioritizing Conservation Center student needs as well as how much time an ArchaeoHub member would need with the equipment. Lauren should be the initial point of contact for all inquiries by trained users.
