Archaeometry
Funds the development of archaeological measurement techniques, and the service laboratories that run dating and analysis for everyone else.
Archaeometry is the measurement side of archaeology, and NSF runs an annual competition for it separate from the main archaeology programme.
Two things get funded. The first is developing or refining anthropologically relevant archaeometric techniques — NSF's own examples are methods to identify particular organic residues on ceramics, and analytic techniques that can be used in the field rather …
Developing and refining anthropologically relevant archaeometric techniques, and supporting service laboratories providing dating, trace element, isotopic and dendrochronological analysis, plus data archives that strengthen archaeological infrastructure.
