The Rock and Microscopy Laboratory at the Faculty of Archaeology and Anthropology at Yarmouk University is considered a specialized unit dedicated to the scientific study and examination of archaeological samples and artifacts. The laboratory includes a range of scientific instruments and technologies that enable precise petrographic and mineralogical analyses of rocks, pottery, and various other archaeological specimens. These analyses help researchers determine the composition, manufacturing methods, and origins of materials, providing valuable scientific insights into the ancient techniques used in past eras. In addition to its research role, the laboratory plays a vital role in education and training, offering students practical learning opportunities and the acquisition of specialized skills in the microscopic analysis of archaeological materials and its applications in archaeology. The laboratory also supports scientific research projects for researchers and graduate students, in addition to opening opportunities for collaboration at the national and international levels and reinforcing a multidisciplinary approach between the fields of archaeology, geology, and anthropology.
