S753: Archaeometry: The Science of Archaeology in Splash 2023 (Apr. 22, 2023)

Can new scientific techniques overturn our most basic understandings of the past? In this course, we will examine several new tools that form the basis of archaeological science and their relative contributions to the archaeologist’s toolkit. We will then apply our new understandings to a flashpoint in Biblical Archaeology - the transformation from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age in the Kingdom of Israel. Does new data from recent Archaeometry research change the course of human history? We will decide!
