Archaeometry: An Introduction to Physical Methods in Archaeology and the History of Art - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This textbook surveys the physical and chemical techniques that can be used in archaeology and art history. Designed for both students of history and science, it presents the basic scientific background needed at the beginning of each subject, but avoids annoying the scientifically skilled reader with over-simplified arguments. The use of technical terms and professional language has been kept to a minimum on both sides. The book describes the physical idea behind each method and attempts to convey an impression of the variety of applications. Examples have been taken mostly from journals general to both history and science with some from highly specialized journals.
