Role in the Network	Main speciality research areas: International reputation for Archaeointensity and Palaeointensity studies. International centre for microwave analysis of ceramics and rocks. Other factors: One of largest and best-equipped archaeomagnetic/palaeomagnetic laboratories in Europe. Major research concentrating on archaeointensity and palaeointensity analysis in order to define local master curves for use in dating and improving our understanding of the behaviour of the geomagnetic field. Liverpool co-hosted with Bradford the AARCH workshop 1.
Research Linkage	Links with major laboratories worldwide.
