Archaeology meets high-tech in Otto Wagner Postsparkasse

On Heritage Day, the Austrian Archaeological Institute (OeAI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) will provide insights into its newly established research laboratories in the Postsparkasse. This former bank building by Otto Wagner has now become a place for science, where the OeAI has found a home as one of several OeAW institutes. Explore the world of research with our team of experts specializing in lithic and ceramic analysis, geochemistry, and bioarchaeology as well as in restoration and conservation. Discover how cutting-edge technologies are utilized to uncover a vast window into the history of humanity and how different aspects of life become comprehensible: from farming and hunting to cuisine, food security and health to mining, arts and crafts, architecture and trade.
