Introduction to Archaeological Science offers a clear, comprehensive introduction to archaeological science for students encountering the field for the first time. This book presents the principal areas that shape contemporary archaeological science, combining accessible explanations with strong conceptual foundations. It introduces the development of the discipline from the 19th century to the present, before exploring relative and absolute dating methods; past environments and climate; geoarchaeology; archaeobotany; zooarchaeology; human osteology; biomolecular archaeology, including ancient

    This paper began as an attempt to understand the geology of the Boston Basin for purposes determining a risk profile and remediation plan as part of a Clean Water Act legal notice. That research resulted in an assessment that no coherent, evidence-based explanation for the geology of the Boston Basin exists in the published literature. However, the literature captured extensive evidence that could be analyzed under new theories and methodologies. Over a century of geological surveys, engineering boring logs, and geotechnical investigations have documented a suite of anomalies that the prevaili

    Analysis scripts and computed outputs for the manuscript 'A spatial gradient without a radial signature: a county-level test of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis demographic prediction in PIDBA' (submitted to the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports). Includes the original May 2026 analysis scripts (test specifications and decision thresholds fixed in code, git-timestamped 2026-05-26) and the August 2026 subsequent robustness analyses (summed fluted-point denominator, PIDBA August 2026 release, and the spatial-shape falsification battery). The primary result: a robust spatial gradient
