Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A much expanded version of 70/582. If a mature science of archaeology is to evolve, the archaeologist must remain fully responsible for the co-ordination and interpretation of the results obtained by the specialists whose help he has sought. There is now a formidable battery of specialist techniques available to assist with dating problems and with understanding the constant interplay of man and environment; but problems of animal and plant domestication are still far from solution, and human biology needs more attention than it has formerly received. The computer, wisely fed and interpreted, makes possible comparative biological and artefactual studies on a scale hitherto unattainable. However, the shortage of specialist workers means that archaeological research institutions must take more responsibility for the proper examination, curating and conservation of specimens, and for the standardisation of data storage and analysis. In addition, we should now give urgent priority to the study of man's primary preoccupations, eg food, housing, reproduction and disease. | |
