IRLAB – Institute for Research and Learning in Archaeology and Bioarchaeology is a non-profit organization established to promote the advancement and diffusion of archaeological and bioarchaeological knowledge through research and education.

We believe that, to understand the human condition across time and space, it is necessary to study past populations directly within their archaeological context. Indeed, only by combining archaeological survey, excavation, and laboratory analyses can we gain a holistic appreciation for the multidimensional eco-bio-cultural world experienced by humans in the past.
