Along with scientific objectives, which are its principal purpose, the Laboratorio also serves to supplement the didactic resources of the university, through seminars and outdoor practical activities as well as through workshops. A third aim is to encourage contact between the scientific world and the general public, using methodological approaches such as Public Archaeology and Experimental Archaeology.
