Northwest Research
Northwest Research Obsidian Studies Laboratory (NWROSL), established in 1995, specializes in analytical services focused on obsidian artifact trace element provenance sourcing studies and obsidian source research within archaeological contexts. Operating from the Willamette Valley in Oregon, the laboratory complements its contract investigations with comprehensive methodological and source information.
In addition to its core services, NWROSL collaborates with Willamette Analytics to offer obsidian hydration services, retaining the experienced guidance of long-time advisor Jennifer Thatcher. The facility also features a companion lab, Northwest Archaeometrics, which provides a range of archaeological services including 3D scanning and GIS capabilities.
