How do archaeologists use chemistry?

Archaeologists use chemistry to analyze artifacts and materials found at archaeological sites. By conducting chemical analysis, they can determine the composition of artifacts, identify residues left behind, and provide information about the origin and age of the materials. Chemistry also helps in understanding ancient technologies and trade routes.


To help them analyze a site archeologists make?

To help analyze a site, archaeologists make detailed maps, take photographs, record measurements, and create sketches of artifacts and features found. They also conduct excavation, conduct laboratory analysis, and consult historical records and literature to interpret their findings. Additionally, they collaborate with specialists in fields such as botany, geology, and chemistry to gain a comprehensive understanding of the site.


What kind of science does a rocket use?

Conventional chemical rockets use chemistry, physics, and thermodynamics. US rocket technology also involves cryogenics, mechanics, materials science, aerodynamics, hydrolics, and numerous other sciences.


How is chemistry used in archeology?

Chemistry can be used in archaeology in many different ways, the main being as a helpful tool in finding the age of the artifacts. this process is called carbon dating. Other means can be to know the probable use of the artifact by chemical analysis of the remains or the deposits in it. Also, the various materials can/are chemically tested to know their contents which will tell its origins and also the probable use. Lastly the chemical can also be used for cleaning.
