Article Title:Bridging the gap between archaeology and the physical sciences

Abstract:
The collaboration between archaeologists and representatives of the physical sciences is often rendered difficult by differing training and expectations, poor mutual understanding, inconsistent terminologies, and a lack of time and willingness to bridge these gaps. In this paper some thoughts and suggestions on research design and interpretation in interdisciplinary studies are brought forth and suggestions towards a fruitful collaboration are made.
