Our mission is to make powerful, innovative scientific dating more accessible to everyone.
We deliver trusted and timely luminescence data with the support you need so that you can quickly and confidently progress your heritage management, development, and research projects.
We are internationally recognised experts in single grain and rock surface luminescence dating equipped with the latest technology and a purpose-built laboratory in Yuggera Ugarapul Country, Brisbane, Australia.
Vicus provides routine luminescence dating of sediment samples for archaeological and environmental projects in Australia.
We deliver high-resolution, single-grain luminescence ages and accompanying reports in eight weeks, enabling our clients to progress their projects on time and with confidence.
Vicus is refining novel techniques to directly date buried lithic artefacts and rocks.
This approach gives our clients more confidence in the age of lithic archaeological materials by circumventing assumptions surrounding stratigraphic integrity.
It also allows for dating of rock-based sites that are an integral, yet enigmatic part of Australia's ancient history, such as stone arrangements, stone structures, stone pavements, and fish traps.
Vicus is equipped to date pottery sherds as well as building materials such as adobe bricks.
We are always expanding our capabilities by testing and developing novel dating approaches for new materials.
Our team is ready to help you at every stage of your project, from inception to reporting. We'll help you develop effective sampling strategies and provide guidance interpreting dating results.
Through our collaborative approach and expert advice, we are well placed to help you make informed decisions for your project.
