THE ENVIRONMENT AND DECAY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL MATERIALS

Archaeological Chemistry, Second Edition By Zvi Goffer Copyright 2007 John Wiley Sons, Inc. [Pg.405]

It seems appropriate, therefore, to begin a survey of archaeological materials with a discussion of inorganic materials - from minerals and rocks, the most abundant materials on the planet, to those extracted, derived, or made from them, such as metals and alloys, glass and ceramics (Chapters 1-7). Organic and biological materials produced by, or derived from plants or animals are discussed next (Chapters 8-15). Finally, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, which make up most of the environment that affects all materials and determines the way they decay, are surveyed (Chapter 17). [Pg.21]
