The journal was founded as the Bulletin of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art in 1958. It has been published by Wiley-Blackwell since 2001.[2] Research papers published in Archaeometry are typically "technical expositions of physical and chemical methods applicable to dating and materials identification in archaeology".[4] It is also notable for publishing periodic "datelists", which compile information on radiocarbon dates produced by the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit and other radiocarbon laboratories.[5][6]
