The Sacramento State Zooarchaeology lab is housed within the Archaeological Curation Facility (ACF), a division of the Department of Anthropology. The lab provides a space for undergraduate and graduate students to conduct thesis level research under the direction of Dr. Jacob Fisher. A comprehensive collection of mammalian, avian, reptile, and fish comparatives are available for the identification of archaeofaunal remains. A full reference library includes texts on human and non-human osteology, identification manuals, zooarchaeology method and theory, and animal biogeography. A variety of microscopes, digital calipers and scales, and desktop and laptop stations are used for data recordation.

The Zooarchaeology Lab is available to conduct analyses under contract for cultural resource management firms and agencies. For more information, please contact Dr. Jacob Fisher.
