摘要:Theory and methods in anthracology. 2 - Field and laboratory techniques.
This paper presents a suite to a series of articles on the anthracological methodology in the tropics. We
discuss here the techniques of field and laboratory work, especially the way archaeological charcoal is
deposited, anthracological sampling, concentration of the material, constitution of reference collections, use
of charcoal data-bases, charcoal determination, and dimension of charcoal pieces that can be identified, as
well as a discussion on the flotation technique.
