Description

Archaeological Chemistry (3rd Edition) by A Mark Pollard, Carl Heron and Ruth Ann Armitage is a comprehensive textbook that explores the fundamental issues in chemical studies of archaeological materials. It examines the most widely used analytical techniques in archaeology, including proteomics, which has seen significant developments in protein recognition for dating and characterisation. This updated edition features a new chapter on proteomics, as well as chapters on obsidian, ceramics, glass, metals and resins, providing valuable information about the social history of humankind. It is an essential companion to students in archaeological science and chemistry, as well as to archaeologists and those involved in conserving human artefacts. The book provides a detailed look at how chemistry has been employed in tracing the origins of or studying artefacts, making it a useful resource for anyone interested in understanding the role of chemical analysis in archaeology.
