Archaeology (5987 words) |
 | Archaeometry or Archaeological Science is the application of 'hard' scientific methods to archaeology such as carbon dating, statistics and remote sensing. |
| The next major figure in the development of archaeology in the UK was Mortimer Wheeler, whose highly disciplined approach to excavation and systematic coverage of much of the country in the 1920s and 1930s brought the science on swiftly. |
| Archaeological excavation existed when the field was still the domain of amateurs, and it remains the source of the majority of data recovered in most field projects. |
