Science in archaeology: A survey of progress and research;

by Don Brothwell

Hardbound edition. From the jacket "The book ... is addressed not merely to students of archaeology and of natural science, but to all those who follow with fascination the unfolding of new and ever-widening perspectives of human history. It aims to show how the different branches of natural science can make their own contributions to our understanding of the past, allowing us to view the achievements of our forebears in far greater depth and detail than was possible only a few years ago."
