Many samples. Repeated work.
Archaeological samples often require careful, repetitive separation after excavation.
Patented Robotech Innovation
Archaeological sediment separator by densities.
ARKEODENS makes post-excavation sediment separation faster, more systematic and easier to analyse.
It combines density-based flotation with sieving to classify small archaeological remains more clearly.

The problem
After excavation, the critical work continues in the lab.
Sediment samples may contain seeds, bones, shells or other small remains. Separating them manually is slow, delicate and experience-dependent.
Small remains matter.
Even tiny fragments can contain valuable information about past environments and human activity.
Experience changes the result.
ARKEODENS aims to make the process more systematic and accessible.
The machine in action
The full separation cycle.
The machine video belongs here: the sample enters, moves through the system, separates by density and is organised through sieving.
How it works
Density first. Size second.
Materials float or sink depending on the liquid density. The floating fraction then passes through sieves, creating more precise groups for analysis.
