LIBS-System: Delivery to Mainz
Delivery of our new LIBS-System to Mainz! We are finally able to house our LIBS-System in our labs in Mainz. Of course this did not keep us from doing first analyses ( see our earlier blogpost), but those made us even more excited to finally have the it with us for good.
LIBS-System: First test-run
After only communicating via email and videoconferences for almost a year and a half, the project members finally met up for an in person meeting on Crete to test and discuss the new LIBS-system. Victor Piñon and Andreas Lemonis at FORTH have been busily putting together our hardware components over the last few months and turned them into a working machine.
Archaeological cruise in the northern Sporades
Our goal was to collect live specimens of limpets from the shores of the island of Youra, where the Mesolithic Cyclop’s cave is located, as well as from the island of Kyra-Panagia, where the Neolithic site of Agios Petros lies.
