This second edition of the popular title "Archeolgical Chemistry" builds on the successful formula of the first. The existing case studies and chapters have been revised, expanded and updated to take account of new perspectives and data, and new chapters emphasise the significant increase in molecular and isotopic analysis of organic remains. The thematic elements in this book allow the reader to tackle both the science and archaeology of a specific topic in-depth and it will prove an essential companion to students in archaeological science and chemistry, field and museum archaeologists and all those involved in conserving human artefacts.
