Archaeological chemistry is a subject of great importance to the
study and methodology of archaeology. This comprehensive text
covers the subject with a full range of case studies, materials,
and research methods. With twenty years of experience teaching the
subject, the authors offer straightforward coverage of
archaeological chemistry, a subject that can be intimidating for
many archaeologists who do not already have a background in the
hard sciences. With clear explanations and informative
illustrations, the authors have created a highly approachable text,
which will help readers overcome that intimidation. Topics covered
included: Materials (rock, pottery, bone, charcoal, soils, metals,
and others), Instruments (microscopes, NAA, spectrometers, mass
spectrometers, GC/MS, XRF & XRD, Case Studies (Provinience,
Sediments, Diet Reconstruction, Past Human Movement, Organic
Residues). The detailed coverage and clear language will make this
useful as an introduction to the study of archaeological chemistry,
as well as a useful resource for years after that introduction.
