Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
the paper outlines the history of INAA at the University of Manchester, which began with a request for help from the university's Department of Archaeology in the early 1970s. Topics covered include refinement in the method of selecting pottery to be sampled from the simple assumption that sherds found at a site were typical of those made there, to a greater focus on kiln sites and wasters, and discussion of the department's teaching role as an important element in Manchester's approach. Close collaboration with archaeologists encouraged methodological comparisons, and allowed INAA to be seen as an additional weapon in the archaeologists' arsenal as much as a developing scientific technique. The university's place as the inventor of the computer encouraged the development of statistical programs, which in turn facilitated ready collaboration and exchange of information with other laboratories.
