ChemArch Learning Resources
Explore science and archaeology through these fascinating video resources, created by researchers from the ChemArch Innovative Training Network.
In this video series we introduce you to the researchers of the ChemArch ITN, or Chemical Archaeology Innovative Training Network, and explore their cutting-edge research focused on exploring the ancient world through the lens of chemistry and biology.
This innovative network brings together scientists and archaeologists from around Europe to uncover the secrets of past civilizations by analysing the chemical compositions of artefacts, residues, and ancient bones.
By studying these chemical clues and exploring the methods used, the ChemArch ITN researchers aim to provide you with new insights into how ancient people lived, what they ate, the technologies they used and the environments they inhabited.
