Archaeometry is a peer-reviewed academic journal covering archaeological science, particularly absolute dating methods, artefact studies, quantitative archaeology, remote sensing, conservation science, and environmental archaeology.[1][2] It is published bimonthly by Wiley-Blackwell, on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art at the University of Oxford, in association with the Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie Archäometrie and the Society for Archaeological Sciences.[2] Its current editors are A. Mark Pollard, Ina Reiche, Brandi MacDonald, Gilberto Artioli, and Catherine Batt.[3]

The journal was founded as the Bulletin of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art in 1958. It has been published by Wiley-Blackwell since 2001.[2] Research papers published in Archaeometry are typically "technical expositions of physical and chemical methods applicable to dating and materials identification in archaeology".[4] It is also notable for publishing periodic "datelists", which compile information on radiocarbon dates produced by the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit and other radiocarbon laboratories.[5][6]
