Since 1.1.2021, the Austrian Archaeological Institute (OeAI) has focused on foundational research in the field of archaeology and classical studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW). The core mission is the investigation of human history from the Quaternary period up to the modern era, taking into consideration all material archaeological sources and written traditions. The institute consists of three departments: Prehistory and Western Asia/North African Archaeology, Historical Archaeology and Classical Studies, which cover the entire professional curriculum and the variety of methods of the disciplines represented. Interdisciplinarity and professional interconnections distinguish the Institute, as expressed in the creation of central facilities for Archaeological Sciences, Digital Archaeology, Classics, and Heritage Science. The extensive research infrastructure of the Institute consists of laboratories, workshops, a technical pool and mobile equipment, as well as archives, collections and the largest archaeological professional library in Austria. The Institute is based in Vienna, with branch offices in Athens, Ephesos, Cairo and Krems.
