Symbols, constants, units, and equivalencies.The chemical study of archaeological materialsArchaeological Chemistry, Second Edition is about the application of the chemical sciences to the study of ancient man and his material activities. The text of the book centers on the use of chemical methods, but also refers to the contributions of physics, biology, and genetics to archaeological research.Subjects discussed in the book include the determination of the nature of ancient materials, their provenance and age, the technologies used for the production of man-made materials, and the analysis of ancient human and animal remChemical analysis ;v.170.Archaeological chemistryArchaeological chemistry.930.1028Goffer Zvi459270MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143993503321Archaeological chemistry175767UNINA
