_Archaeology by Experiment_, by John Coles. Charles Scribner's Sons, 1973,
is a useful introduction.

There are other texts of this sort, but a very interesting, if obscure
title (to this group) is _The Healing Hand: Man and Wound in the Ancient
World_, by Guido Majno.  Harvard Univ. Press, 1975.

Majno is a pathologist whose interest in the history of medicine led him
to explore the tools and techniques of science and medicine/surgery from
pre-history through Galen.

As an example, I learned a couple of useful things from this book on
medicine while doing research for my recently published book on
manuscript inks.
