SOU LABORATORY OF ANTHROPOLOGY (SOULA)

SOULA connects culture, history, and place in a meaningful way, conducting grant- and contract- funded research that includes archaeological survey, excavation, and analysis; GIS mapping; and oral history and ethnohistoric research. We serve the interests of our university and community and we select projects in partnership with private, local, state, federal, and Tribal organizations in ways that meet our collaborators’ needs and such that the resultant data become a source for expanded research and public education.

Students pursuing Sociology, Anthropology, and other majors benefit from hands-on experiences in fieldwork, laboratory analysis, conference presentation, writing, and career networking.  Our laboratory includes facilities for artifact analysis, conservation, and curation as well as computers for collection cataloging, report writing, graphic design, and GIS cartography.

We appreciate your generous support.
