N2  - A handbook designed for the reader with a general rather than a specialized knowledge of physics and chemistry begins by treating locating methods (magnetometer, etc) ; methods of age determination (radioactive and non-radioactive) and the implications for archaeology of chronologies drawn up by these methods. Physical examination of artefactual and biological material is then considered : microscopy, radiography ; techniques such as neutron activation analysis ; and applications of these.
