Can you study science with archaeology
Hello,
Yeah, you may do science accompanied by archaeology. Archaeology is a multidisciplinary field and to gain further knowledge about history, it needs to be combined along with other scientific disciplines. Many branches of science are connected with archaeology too, such as biology, chemistry, physics, and geology.
For example, the archaeological science applies methods like carbon dating (chemistry), DNA analysis (biology), and remote sensing (physics) to retrieve information related to earlier civilizations. If one is interested in both science and archaeology then, one can opt for a course in archaeology and archaeometry, it is an application of scientific methods to problems in archaeology.
Learning science along with archaeology brings within one's career scope and opportunities in forensic archaeology, paleobotany, and environmental archaeology, where bodies and other remains alongside environmental data are analyzed.
Universities allow for joint or interdisciplinary courses in order to complement archaeology with science, and this is a good and well-rounded education that would really be helpful when making studies in the field.
