Archaeology is far more than digging in the dirt. Modern archaeological science relies on physics, chemistry, statistics, and computational modeling to date finds, reconstruct ancient environments, and classify artifacts. Radiocarbon decay, stratigraphic superposition, and tree-ring chronologies each provide independent clocks that cross-validate one another.
These simulations let you explore the quantitative backbone of archaeology. Watch Carbon-14 atoms decay in real time, layer sediment strata to understand superposition, classify artifacts through seriation, plan a survey grid, and read climate history from tree rings.
