A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Archaeologists and archaeology students have long since needed an authoritative account of the techniques now available to them, designed to be understood by non-scientists. This book fills the 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 langauge for non-scientists. Additional end-notes, however, offer a a more technical understanding, and cater for those who have a scientific and mathematical background.

Revue de presse

'Martin Aitken xxx; provides just the kind of lucid, well-balanced view of these new dating methods which archaeologists have long been waiting for.'
