ARCHAEOMAGNETISM IN ARCHAEOMETRY— A SEMI-CENTENNIAL REVIEW.

The journal Archaeometry and its first co-editor Martin Aitken played key roles in the development of archaeomagnetism. This paper briefly reviews all papers published in Archaeometry , and a few others, dealing with archaeomagnetic secular variation, archaeomagnetic dating, archaeointensity studies and related applications of magnetic studies to archaeology, to indicate some of the major developments over the past 50 years.
