The Leibniz Centre for Archaeology (LEIZA) is a globally active archaeological research institute and museum of the Leibniz Association with its headquarters in Mainz and three further locations in Neuwied, Mayen and Schleswig. Since its foundation in 1852, it has been dedicated to researching material remains from around 3 million years of human history with the aim of understanding human behavior as well as the development and change of societies.
