Archemy is the first archaeochemistry lab in the Baltics that combines archaeology with analytical chemistry<\/strong> and aims to bridge the humanities and natural sciences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission<\/strong>\u00a0is to\u00a0encourage collaborative, transdisciplinary research that supports the growth of regional research centres, to promote thoughtful heritage management, new ways of knowledge acquisition, and connecting the past with the present and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our vision<\/strong> is to be a\u00a0leading research hub\u00a0in the\u00a0eastern Baltic\u00a0bridging\u00a0natural sciences and humanities\u00a0through\u00a0cutting-edge biomolecular archaeology.\u00a0\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Archemy brings together broad expertise in material culture studies, human osteology, zooarchaeology, and archaeobotany. We maintain close institutional links with the Institute of Chemistry, which has a long-standing record of excellence in the chemical analysis of cultural heritage materials, as well as with the Institute of History and Archaeology. In addition, we collaborate closely with the Institute of Genomics on ancient DNA research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our expertise<\/strong> includes:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Organic\u00a0residue analysis<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0pottery,\u00a0including\u00a0the\u00a0identification of\u00a0absorbed lipids and\u00a0carbonised food remains;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stable isotope analysis\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0carbon, nitrogen and sulphur\u00a0from\u00a0bone\u00a0collagen, including both bulk and compound-specific amino acid analyses;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Plant micro- and macrofossil\u00a0<\/strong>analysis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Osteological and palaeopathological\u00a0<\/strong>analysis (including archaeotanatology);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Zooarchaeological\u00a0<\/strong>analysis including studies in morphology, morphometrics, taphonomy and ancient DNA;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Radiocarbon dating<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. aDNA and paleoproteomics<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
