A Brief Overview of Archaeometric Studies in Historical Maritime Archaeology: Some Contributions from Argentina

Abstract

This note is an introduction to a new topic in the SAS Bulletin focused on archaeometric research in the fields of historical and maritime archaeology. The importance of these studies has increased during the last decades and is what motivates us to inaugurate a new section in order to communicate developments in these areas through upcoming conferences, courses and fieldwork; published journals and papers; book reviews; recent thesis; innovative methods and techniques; and ongoing investigations.
