Archaeoscience is the study of all things ancient, from both before and after the arrival of humans on the planet. Archaeoscience International (ASI) is a scientific research and exploration institute which is non-partisan, international, and multidisciplinary in its efforts and is, therefore, concerned with the scientific observation and analysis of all things ancient. Research methods, expedition planning, publishing, and other aspects of ASI operations are at all times sensitive to the environmental and political setting of the research locales.
Our efforts are always multidisciplinary, drawing on the tools and techniques of many disciplines, and we seek to explicitly utilize what each discipline has to offer the others. We work collaboratively with specialists, while seeking to build a broader and more sophisticated understanding of the different disciplines and what they have to offer to generalist endeavours. These efforts are designed to develop archaeoscience as its own specialty.
