Abstract
Archaeometry is relatively new to Australia and the 43 papers in this volume were given at a conference on Archaeometry at the Australian Museum in Sydney in 1982. Following a definition of archaeometric terms, papers were presented under the headings: Characterization Studies; Geoarchaeology; Geomagnetism; Palaeoecology and Environment; Dating (Chemical Reaction Rate Studies); Dating (Thermoluminescence); Dating (Isotope Studies); Dating (Radiocarbon); Conservation and Experimental Archaeology; and the results of a survey on archaeometry and conservation. -- AATA
