- 1. Archaeometry is an interdisciplinary scientific field that utilizes various techniques from chemistry, physics, geology, and biology to study archaeological materials. By applying scientific methods, archaeometrists can analyze the composition, structure, and properties of artifacts and other archaeological remains to gain insights into ancient cultures, technologies, and environments. This field plays a crucial role in dating objects, identifying sources of raw materials, reconstructing ancient trade routes, and understanding the preservation and deterioration of archaeological sites. Additionally, archaeometry assists in interpreting the cultural significance and socio-economic aspects of past civilizations, contributing valuable data to the broader field of archaeology.
