Science-Based Dating in Archaeology

<p>With their increasing reliance on laboratory-based dating archaeologists and archaeological students have long needed an authoritative account of the techniques now available to them designed to be understood by non-scientists. This book fills that 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 language for non-scientists. Additional end-notes however go more deeply into various points and cater for those who have the scientific and mathematical background to cope with them.</p>
