In an effort to increase the number of
proficient archaeomagnetic-sample
collectors, we periodically offer training and
certification sessions. In these workshops,
individuals become familiar with the theory
behind archaeomagnetic dating and learn
how to collect archaeomagnetic samples in
a number of different field situations.
Individuals are then tested on their
collecting abilities before being certified.
The goal of these workshops is to
produce collectors who not only know
how to correctly collect archaeomagnetic samples, but are also able to
judge when this technique will be
appropriate within the scope of the
archaeological project.
