[email protected]). Molluscs in Archaeology Studying Scientific Archaeology Studying Scientific Archaeologyis a new series of titles from Oxbow Books. The series will produce books on a wide variety of scientific topics in archaeology aimed at students at all levels. These will examine the methods, procedures and reasoning behind various scientific approaches to archaeological data and present case studies or extended examples to demonstrate how data is used and interpretations are arrived at. In particular we aim that they should demonstrate how scientific analyses contribute to our wider understanding of past human behaviour, technology and economy. The series title reflects an inclusivity in the volumes in the sense of encouraging readers in practical research rather than just presenting collected papers as statements of work completed. Our aim is that these titles will come to feature as recommended reading for university courses, providing a sound basis for the appreciation and application of scientific archaeology.
