Abstract
This article presents the newly established ArchaeoMicroLab – the Laboratory of Microscopic
Analysis in Archaeology – in the Faculty of Archaeology at Adam Mickiewicz University, its
equipment, and the scope of research carried out in this facility. Microscopic analyses are
essential research tools used in archaeology for examining artefacts and traces of their use,
organic remains, pigments, and many other objects. The use of high magnification enables
researchers to capture interesting details that are not visible at the macroscopic level.
The article discusses different categories of artefacts, samples and the possibilities of their
examination in the laboratory.
