This book provides an up to date introduction to the exciting, but
complex, new scientific methodologies that are increasingly used in
archaeological study. Written by an international team of
specialists, it provides clear and engaging overviews of a wide
array of approaches, including DNA and proteomics, dating methods,
materials analysis, stable isotope analysis, and the scientific
study of human, plant, and animal remains, among other topics. Each
technique is explored through the use of actual archaeological
examples, which both explain the methods and highlight their
potential applications. The work is carefully illustrated with
useful charts, graphs and other images, which complement the detail
in the text, and help to articulate the case studies explored as
well as the underlying principles of the techniques involved.
Feature tables in many of the chapters highlight selected research
on each topic, providing useful summaries of the current state and
scope of the field for the reader. This volume will serve as a
handy reference tool for scholars, as well as a key textbook for
courses on archaeological science.
