Archaeological sciences (Tite, M.S. ,1991) Archaeological science (also known as Archaeometry) is the application of scientific techniques and methodologies to archaeology. Archaeological science can be divided into the following areas: Physical and chemical dating methods which provide archaeology with absolute and relative chronologies. Artefact studies incorporating (i) provenance, (ii) technology, and (iii) use. Environmental approaches which provide information on past landscapes, climates, flora, and fauna as well as diet, nutrition, health, and pathology of people. Mathematical methods as tools for data treatment also encompassing the role of computers in handling, analysing, and modeling the vast sources of data. Remote sensing and geophysical survey applications comprising a battery of non-destructive techniques for the location and characterisation of buried features at the regional, microregional, and intra-site levels. Conservation sciences, involving the study of decay processes and the development of new methods of conservation
