Institute for Archaeological Sciences
The Institute for Archaeological Sciences (INA) builds on a long tradition of excellence in archaeology, anthropology, and natural science research at the University of Tübingen. Encompassing researchers from the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Humanities—with professors based in both the department of Geosciences and department of Ancient Studies and Art History—the Institute emphasizes a broad approach to understanding the human past through the lens of the natural sciences. Although interdisciplinary in nature and goal, the Institute is structurally organized into 7 wings.
Each wing consists of staff responsible for research, teaching, technical support and administration, and is managed by a wing head. Laboratories and collections are also managed within these wings. More information can be found by following the photo links below.
Several of the wings in the INA are also affiliated with the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Paleoenvironment (SHEP) at the University of Tübingen.
In addition to research, the Institute offers a full range of teaching programs in paleoanthropology, archaeological science and human evolution, from the Bachelor to PhDs.
