Paleolithic stone tools grouped by period, in the groups of a century ago. In archaeology, morphology is the study of the shape of artefacts and ecofacts.. Morphology is a major consideration in grouping artefacts into period styles and, despite modern techniques like radiocarbon dating, remains a crucial tool in the identification and dating not only of works of art but all classes of ...

In archaeology, lithic analysis is the analysis of stone tools and other chipped stone artifacts using basic scientific techniques. At its most basic level, lithic analyses involve an analysis of the artifact's morphology, the measurement of various physical attributes, and examining other visible features (such as noting the presence or absence of cortex, for example).
Morphology (archaeology) Nitrogen dating; Palynology, the study of modern-dated pollens for the relative dating of archaeological strata, also used in forensic palynology. Paleomagnetism; Paleopalynology, also spelt "Palaeopalynology", the study of fossilized pollens for the relative dating of geological strata. Principle of original horizontality
In archaeology, a typology is the result of the classification of things according to their physical characteristics. The products of the classification, i.e. the classes, are also called types. The products of the classification, i.e. the classes, are also called types.

Fagan was awarded the 1996 Society of Professional Archaeologists' Distinguished Service Award for his "untiring efforts to bring archaeology in front of the public." He also received a Presidential Citation Award from the Society for American Archaeology in 1996 for his work in textbook, general writing and media activities. He received the ...
Until the mid-20th century and the introduction of technology, there was a general consensus that archaeology was closely related to both history and anthropology. Since then, elements of other disciplines such as physics , chemistry , biology , metallurgy , engineering , medicine , etc., have found an overlap, resulting in a need to revisit ...
