The Open Journal of Archaeometry
is a peer-reviewed, Open Access, international scientific journal published
by PAGEPress Publications. It is devoted to the publication of research
articles, short communications and review papers on every aspect of
archaeometry. Archaeometry – also known as archaeological science
– applies scientific techniques to the analysis of archaeological materials. Research
topics mainly comprise the following disciplines and analyzing techniques:
chemical and physical analyses of artifacts, concerning provenance,
technology types of use and authenticity; dating methods providing
archaeologists with numerical and relative chronologies; environmental
approaches providing information on past changes in landscape, climate,
flora, and fauna; anthropological studies dealing with diet, nutrition,
health and pathology; mathematical methods for data treatment with the
purpose of handling, analyzing, and modeling large data sources;
remote-sensing and geophysical-survey applications assisting underground and
underwater archaeology; conservation sciences involving the study of decay
processes and the development of appropriate methods of conservation and
restoration.
