	Archaeology
		Archaeometry or Archaeological Science is the application of 'hard' scientific methods to archaeology such as carbon dating, statistics and remote sensing.
		The next major figure in the development of archaeology in the UK was Mortimer Wheeler, whose highly disciplined approach to excavation and systematic coverage of much of the country in the 1920s and 1930s brought the science on swiftly.

	[MSN] Buddhist monastery faces threat from smugglers
		Buddhist monastery faces threat from smugglers Statesman News Service KENDRAPARA, May 2: Priceless archaeological treasures are precariously exposed to antique smugglers in and around the famous 8th century Udaygiri Buddhist monastery even as the watch and vigil by the state police were withdrawn from the famous Buddhist destinations.
		Excavated in 1986 by Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the Udaygiri Buddhist monastery nestled along hillocks in Badchana tehsil of Jahpur district wears a pathetic sight of governmental neglect.
		Even though excavated, Buddhist treasures are of immense historic importance and are comparable to more famous Buddhist sites like Taxsila, Bodhgaya, Nalanda and Sarnath in terms of discoveries of rich archaeological value, little has been done to preserve antiques or ensure the safety of the site from antique smugglers, according to conservationists.
