Science-based Dating in Archaeology (Longman Archaeology Series)

Science-based Dating in Archaeology (Longman Archaeology Series)

by M. J. Aitken (Author)

Synopsis

Archaeologists and archaeology students have long since needed an authoritative account of the techniques now available to them, designed to be understood by non-scientists. This book fills the gap and it offers a two-tier approach to the subject. The main text is a coherent introduction to the whole field of science-based dating, written in plain langauge for non-scientists. Additional end-notes, however, offer a a more technical understanding, and cater for those who have a scientific and mathematical background.
