About
The Institute of Archaeology of the University of Barcelona (IAUB) is a research institute that gathers an already centennial tradition of research in archaeology at the UB, gathering the enormous potential represented by the researchers working in a wide range of archaeological specializations in our institution.
The Institute has a clear diachronic vocation that ranges from the first human manifestations to contemporary archaeology, and a multidisciplinary orientation that brings together researchers from different departments and faculties, including, among the latter, those of Geography and History; Fine Arts; Education; Biology; Earth Sciences; Medicine and Health Sciences; and Chemistry.
The Institute of Archaeology initially brings together 96 researchers from different faculties and departments of the UB.
