The Laboratory for Mediterranean Archaeozoology (MAR) at the University of Haifa, headed by Prof. Nimrod Marom, uses traditional archaeozoological methods (taxonomy, taphonomy, and biometry), archaeology, and anthropology to study animal/human/environment interactions in the Mediterranean, its coastal settings, and its boundary zones with the desert belt. The laboratory conducted major research projects, such as DEADSEA_ECO and Zooarchaeology of Southern Phoenicia, dealing with trophic cascades and Phoenician engagement with animal movement, respectively.

The laboratory is affiliated with the School of Archaeology and Maritime Cultures and the Faculty of Humanities.
