Welcome to Loyola Marymount University's Center for Archaeology

The Archaeology Center consists of a beautiful library of almost 1500 sq. ft., a photography room for macro and digital photography, a laboratory-workroom for the students which accommodates 12-20 students at a time, a large museum room where the artifacts are housed in glass cases with cabinets for the sherd collections, a second museum room which houses the large specialized numismatic library along with the collection of ancient coins and small artifacts (Egyptian amulets and scarabs, cuneiform tablets, etc.), and finally, a small "wet lab" adjacent to the lab-workroom, which also serves as a kitchen with refrigerator and microwave, intentionally designed to encourage the students to "hang out" in the archaeological complex; a great way to learn by osmosis!

Many thanks to the James P. Devere Foundation for its gifts: LMU 1840-1845, 1858, and 1898-1905, as well as many of the excavation reports and artifact catalogs in the LMU Archaeological Library.

Special Thanks to Our Photographers:
