In 2002 the multidisciplinary research project "Nasca: development
and adaptation of archaeometric techniques for the investigation of
cultural history" (Nasca: Entwicklung und Adaption
archa..ometrischer Techniken zur Erforschung der Kulturgeschichte)
started, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education
andResearch(Bundesministerium fu..r Bildung und Forschung, BMBF )
in its priority program "New scientific methods and technologies
for the humanities" (Neue Naturwissenschaftliche Methoden und
Technologien fu..r die Geisteswissenschaften, NTG). This new
project continued and in a certain way fulfilled a lasting goal of
the ministry to integrate different branches of scientific
activities and to foster the transfer of expertise gained in
natural sciences to the humanities and vice versa. Archaeometry, by
definition the application of scientific methods in archaeological
investigation, has been a major focus of the priority program since
its beginnings in 1989. After funding numerous fruitful research
projects that developed new archaeometric techniques mostly in
bilateral cooperation, an even greater outcome was expected from a
more multifaceted approach with the participation of various
scientific disciplines around a well-defined, archaeological
research topic. Furthermore, it was intended to establish a project
outside the traditional research areas in central Europe or the
Mediterranean. It was the great merit of the person formerly in
charge of the BMBF priority program, Dr. Edgar Pusch, to develop
these far-reaching perspectives and we are extremely grateful that
after a rigorous screening our project among other interesting ones
was selected for funding.
