Specialist Areas
AINSE Specialist Committees
AINSE specialist committees provide provide for a stronger focus on disciplines.
Archaeology and Geosciences Committee
Applications in this area would be seeking to advance knowledge in any of the branches of archaeology or geosciences. Applications may be made for AMS studies or PIXE/PIGE characterisation of materials to support the aims of the project.
