The situation is similar in Earth Sciences, Material Science and
Archaeology with each having a large number of separate sub-disciplines
which are areas of study in their own right. Often the sciences overlap
as a material scientists we use techniques borrowed from other sciences
and improve them for our own use, or to feed back into the original
discipline. As a material scientist I am currently working on projects
which involve collaboration with geologists, archaeologists, physicists,
chemists, biologists, surface scientists, and astrophysicists but
unfortunately not historians.
