Natural Science and Archaeology

The study of archaeological science builds on the foundations of such fields as archaeology, historical science, gardening history, and architectural history, collaborating with natural science disciplines in deepening the study of archaeology, history, and the like, and enabling the development and multidisciplinary expansion of new fields of study. Therefore, it is a discipline that cannot exist without the interaction and information exchange with a wide range of natural and human sciences fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, physical science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine.

Science in Archaeology: A Review

American Journal of Archaeology, 1995

The inaugural appearance of yet another "newsletter" of recent archaeological discoveries, reflecting AJA's historic and ongoing commitment to such reviews, is both auspicious and somewhat daunting.' Late 20th-century science-here viewed in its more narrow sense as the natural sciences-is now making its share of discoveries in Old World archaeology, a field that some consider a rather esoteric pursuit, divorced from the modern world. A review of this kind might then simply be seen as a long-overdue response to our headlong plunge into a technological present and future. Computers and other "black boxes" are no longer just the province of a few scientific wizards, but are now part of everyone's life, including the archaeologist's, whether we like it or not and whether it produces worthwhile results in our research or not. Since there is no turning back, we all need advice on how best to cope with this revolution and perhaps even come to enjoy it a little more. Such a review can be as daunting to its author as to its readers. How does one launch an endeavor that has few if any precedents,2 and which even its practitioners cannot decide among themselves what to call? A roundtable discussion on "Future Directions in Archaeometry,"3 held in conjunction with the 1981 Archaeometry symposium at Brookhaven National Laboratory, highlighted the fact that "archae-1 Publication of this review has been made possible in part by a generous subvention from the Frederick R. and Margaret B. Matson Fund, established specifically to encourage publication of technological studies in AJA. Fred S. Kleiner and Frederick R. Matson are to be especially thanked for first proposing the idea of such a review to me, and then helping to make it a reality by their suggestions, moral support, and, in the case of Fred Matson, contributing an essay of his own on ceramic ecology. Tracey Cullen also provided very thoughtful and practical advice on goals and possible contributors. For a brief history of archaeological newsletters in AJA, see ES. Kleiner, 'Archaeology in Asia Minor/Anatolia, 1955-1993," AJA 98 (1994) 1-3. 2 In the United States, the Society for Archaeological Sciences publishes the SAS Bulletin, which is a very useful "newsletter" that provides up-to-date information on advances in the field, meetings, publications, and funding opportunities. A series of textbooks on the archaeological sciences is also currently being prepared by members of this society in collaboration with Plenum Press, New York. Another newsletter that has kept archaeologists abreast ometry" had no precise definition (it has yet to be made an entry in Webster's or the Oxford unabridged dictionary), and that it was too narrowly focused on the physical sciences and connoted too great a concern for precise measurements ("-metry"). Archaeologists might justifiably claim that their measurements, if not so precise, are at least better suited to cultural interpretation and broader issues of why things developed the way they did, how these developments are expressed in the modern world, and whether any predictive value can be attached to such findings. The phrase "archaeological science" has fared somewhat better,4 but raises the hackles of both archaeologists (archaeology itself being viewed by many as a social science) and natural scientists, who do not view this as a well-developed discipline. Since "Science and Archaeology" is a similarly infelicitous juxtaposition, I have settled on "Science in Archaeology" as the title for this review. This phrase implies that science of whatever variety (social, biological, physical, etc.) has found its way into archaeology, and it is for us to decide whether it is producing worthwhile results. This review is not intended, however, to cover every scientific approach or application in archaeology, but rather, to present a selected range of viewpoints of some of the latest developments is the "Archaeometric Clearinghouse" inJFA. C.W. Beck, who assiduously saw this review through 26 installments, retired last year, and the editorial reins have now been passed to J. Henderson of Sheffield University. More specialized newsletters are also published on a regular basis-e.g., La Tinaja, which deals with archaeoceramics and is edited by J.E. Corbin (Box 13047, SFA Station, Nacogdoches, Texas 75962-3047), and the series of reviews on archaeometallurgy in the Journal of Metals, edited by V.

Journal of Heritage, Archaeology & Management(JHAM) Volume 1 Issue II Dec 2021

2021

e are happy to present the 2 nd issue of the first volume of our Journal of Heritage, Archaeology and Management (JHAM) to the scholars and researchers. Those who have been directly connected with the studies of India's Heritage and Culture, and have devoted years after years for the preservation of the culture, they have extreme responsibility to highlight time to time some of the unknown history, tradition, cultural remains and newly discovered artifacts of our land. No doubt, these are the most serious and tremendous tasks which have been carried out in various ways by our esteem members and scholars. Among many ways, reporting of the cultural heritage of a particular region or locality is very significant. The members from all branches of our academic wings have shared their knowledge and valuable information. So, each and every issue of our journal is research oriented and thoughtful. In this volume we have nine articles based on heritage building restoration and adaptive reuse, protection and conservation of monuments of Ekamra Kshetra in post-independence period, recent discoveries of some unknown monument in Nuh, Haryana, the site of Sanauli and its Harappan connection, terracotta temple of Antpur, late medieval temples in the Hooghly district of West Bengal, Jain temples of Murshidabad, the legends of a lost civilization of Prachi Valley and the wonder of the Kakatiya art of Ramappa temple. At the end of this volume we have included a review of the book entitled "Debalgarh Anulia Pratnakkhtra (Harano Ek RajdhanIr Sondhane)" by Dr. Biswajit Ray. Our journal regularly publishes some unknown or lesser-known archaeological sites of India. We hope that this issue will bring value addition to the information base of the young scholars and archaeologists for updating their knowledge. We appreciate the contributions of our extremely enthusiastic scholars.

Our Living Archeaological Heritage: a Protrayal of Mankind

2006

This paper proposes a new line of investigation to be undertaken by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid's CARPA Group (Cartografía en Patrimonio y Arqueología). Since 1996, we have been collecting a range of data related to heritage using photogrammetry and 3D scanning as well as other techniques. Furthermore, multimedia presentations have been produced and many innovative types of museum pieces have been conceived. To take up the challenge of making continuous improvements to the way in which our heritage is documented and presented, we envisage a new concept: Our Living Heritage. By this, we refer to everything which today may or may not be considered as heritage, but which in the future will surely be regarded as such, at a time when our epoch needs to be explained. Our present work provides an experimental response to ensuring the viability of efforts to capture the human form for posterity by means of surveying techniques, which overcomes the limitations of traditional techniques past (stone) and present (wax).

Journal of Heritage, Archaeology & Management (JHAM) Volume 1 Issue 1, 2021

2021

uring this global pandemic situation, all of us are passing through a very critical phase. It seems like the world has come to a stand still. Yet, we need to continue with our journey and keep the flame of knowledge burning. Thus, in this quest for wisdom and learning, "Society for Heritage, Archaeology and Management" has been supported and guided by the esteemed members of our Executive Committee, Executive Secretaries of academic wings and scholars from various disciplines and Institutions, which has made it possible to publish its very first e-Journal named Journal of Heritage, Archaeology and Management (JHAM). This volume presents a series of articles on different aspects of Art, Archaeology, Conservation and Management. It contains 16 articles altogether. The articles have been categorized under various themes such as Heritage, Heritage management, Archaeology, Art / Architecture / Iconography, Conservation and Geo-archaeology. Our Heritage section starts with a valuable article on "Archaeological Surveys in India and Archaeological Survey of India" by Prof. Alok Tripathi, Additional Director General, ASI, which has given us an insight on the origin and history of Archaeological Survey of India and Archaeological Surveys in India. There are few more articles on the theme of Heritage and Heritage Management contributed by Mr. Tamal Dutta, Dr. Debasis Mondal and Ms. Asmita Basu Chatterjee which discuss about the local, national and world heritage sites. The theme Archaeology consists of researches related to recent excavations and explorations. The archaeological materials are being revealed day by day which not only provide us significant information about human past but also serve as evidences leading to new arenas for future research. In this category, there are two articles, contributed by Dr. Banani Bhattacharya, Mr. Arabinda Singha Roy and his co-authors. In any archaeological mission, scientific equipment is required for better interpretation. Under this theme, we also have an interesting article focusing on a newly innovation of one such equipment which seems to be very useful in archaeological work, contributed by young scholars along with their mentor Mr. Anustup Chatterjee. In Art, Architecture and Iconography section there are seven articles highlighting metal sculpture, terracotta figurines, ivory objects, temple and its decorations, of Bengal as well as stone sculptures and painting of other regions. This part of the volume starts with a very interesting article on "
