Clues

  • giving the age of something according to a calendar or historic scale. Also called chronometric dating (8, 6)
  • growing crops (6)
  • locating and defining archaeological sites from the air. Photographing cropmarks and parchmarks during drought conditions usually produce the best results. (6, 6)
  • the application of scientific analysis to archaeological materials (12)
  • using a drill to take a core through deposits in the ground (8)
  • where there is insufficient oxygen for the bacteria which normally break down organic materials to thrive e.g. waterlogged sites (9, 10)
