**Description**:
The Elemental Analysis Facility (EAF) is a multi-sited lab at The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and at the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at ASU. We work to further the scientific understanding of human evolution, culture, society, and diversity through field and collections-based research. EAF researchers are archaeological scientists who use modern technology to study the human story. We participate in survey and excavation projects around the globe and in collections-based research on existing archaeological items at the Field Museum, at ASU, and beyond. We aim to elucidate the nature of human economic activity and interconnections between societies over the millennia. The EAF contains instrumentation that allows for the rapid compositional analysis of materials collected during excavations and field work conducted by our teams. These methods of compositional analysis are also revealing new information about collections that have been housed at museums like the Field for over a century.
