Archaeometry in JAAS

JAAS 2012, Archaeometry themed issue, front cover

Fan et al, J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2012, 27, 821-826

In a recent issue of JAAS we highlighted work from around the world in the field of archaeometry. Also known as archaeological science, it is the use of scientific techniques to analyze archaeological materials, such as bone, ceramics, glass, and bronze.

The themed issue was guest edited by Patrick Degryse, from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), Leuven, Belgium and the issue contained some exciting papers on topics including Roman glass, human teeth, medieval village populations, and metallurgy in China. Click through here to take a look at the issue or read about it in the blog. The below papers will be free to access for 2 weeks.

Some HOT papers from this themed issue include;
