Geoarchaeology is an established field of science in which geological principles are applied for the interpretation of archaeological situations.However, geoarchaeological laboratories are still not a self-evident part of archaeological institutions or archaeological companies.For this cooperation, specialized workplaces at universities, laboratories of the Geological Survey or institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences usually serve.One such laboratory that specializes directly in geoarchaeology is the Laboratory of Geoarchaeology within the Department of Geological Processes of Institute of Geology of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague.The Geoarchaeological Laboratory participates in research both in the form of joint grant projects and on the basis of commercial cooperation.In the last ten years, several dozen studies published in impact publications, as well as several dozen projects published in the form of research reports, have been produced.The activities of the Georcheological Laboratory are not limited to the territory of the Czech Republic, as cooperation on projects in the rest of Europe, Africa and Asia have also taken place.
