About us
  • Artefact , The virtual laboratory for
    archaeometry is dedicated to the promotion of
    advanced dating techniques for history and
    understanding the homo sapiens all the way
    through his artefacts alphabets, calendars,
    coins, thoughts, jewels, masks, mummies, rock
    art, sex, songs, and other activities.
  • Archaeometry is also known as archaeological
    science, is a sub-discipline of anthropology
    which is the study of people, particularly human
    biological and behavioral variation in the
    present, as well as the past.
  • More specifically time fossils archaeometry is
    the reconstruction of ancient behavior from the
    things people left behind.
  • When combined with the study of the biological
    changes that human heredity has undergone over
    the last several million years, archaeometry
    provides an important part of our understanding
    of the evolutionary success of modern humans and
    Homo sapiens.

Significance of fossils Archaeometry to Human
Evolution
  • The time fossils archaeometry record provides a
    unique, long-term view of the evolution of human
    behavior.
  • The study of human evolution contains an
    experiment of the genetic, physical, and
    behavioral differences of the hominin lineage
    since we move away from other apes million years
    ago or more.
  • As the nature of fossilized bones does record
    major changes in hominin behavior, it is not
    until about 2.5 million years ago with the first
    form of the archaeological record that we have
    rich facts for a more complete range of early
    human actions.
  • Some artefacts (terra-cotta tablets, stelae, and
    other engraved stones, parchments, coins, etc.)
    are carrying a colophon written which have to be
    compared with those used in reports of earliest
    solar eclipses.
  • In this way, calendrical could be anchored to the
    astronomical universal Era calendar.
  • More ever, with megalithic artifacts, solstitial
    sunrises and sunsets are restructuring the
    landscape in the condition of the solar cycle.

Archaeological dating techniques
  • Archaeological science or Time fossils
    Archaeometry has exacting value when it can
    provide absolute dates for archaeological strata
    and artifacts.

Some of the mainly important dating techniques
include
  • Radiocarbon dating involves particularly the
    dating of organic materials.
  • Dendrochronology Dating For trees and also
    crucial for evaluating radiocarbon dates.
  • Thermoluminescence dating for inorganic material
    including ceramics
  • Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technique
    is for absolute dating and relatively profiling
    covered land surfaces in horizontal and vertical
    stratigraphic segments.

  • Most frequently by measuring photons discharged
    from grains of quartz within sedimentary bodies.
  • Electron spin resonance is applied in dating
    teeth (for example)
  • Potassium-argon dating for fossilized hominid
    remains by association with volcanic sediments
    (the fossils themselves are indirectly dated).
    (For example)
