From field to lab: the changing nature of archaeology

Futurum

This led me to studying chemical engineering, before specialising in environmental chemistry. The skills I was using to measure traces of chemicals in the environment are very similar to those needed to analyse the chemistry of archaeological artefacts. I recommend taking as many science and mathematics courses as you can.
