The Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory of the IFAO, which main purpose is to satisfy
the needs of the archaeological community in Egypt began operations in 2006.
It is, so far, the only one operating in Egypt.
The main purpose of such a laboratory, integrated in an archaeological institute,
is to study series of samples with solid archaeological context in order to
solve questions of absolute chronology. We welcome all projects of collaboration
with other archaeological organizations as well as with other radiocarbon dedicated
laboratories.
We are now ready to accept all samples issued from the institute's excavation
sites, as well as from other parties, provided , of course that there is approval
from the Supreme Council for Antiquities.
Orders have a standard price. Those charges are to cover the well-functionning
of the laboratory as the IFAO is a non-profit organization.
