Convergence Archaeology: A Coherence-Based Experimental Framework for Multi-Material Field Systems in Ancient Civilizations

Conventional archaeology has achieved extraordinary success in reconstructing cultural sequences, material technologies, and symbolic systems. However, it remains structurally limited in its ability to test whether certain ancient structures functioned as active physical field systems rather than solely as static monuments, ritual spaces, or symbolic constructs. This paper introduces Convergence Archaeology (CA) as a new experimental discipline designed to test the hypothesis that some ancient sites were intentionally engineered as multi-band, multi-material coherence architectures, in which distinct materials occupied specific frequencybehavior layers within a coupled field system. We formalize the Field Constitution of Convergence Archaeology, establish a unified technical lexicon, present the New Convergence Archaeology Principle (v1.1), and define a rigorous Measurement and Instrumentation Framework including explicit falsification criteria. Five experimental classes are introduced through which CA claims may be empirically evaluated. Proposed test cases at the H al Saflieni Hypogeum, Stonehenge, and the Great Pyramid (King's Chamber subset) are used to illustrate prospective application. A constrained civilizational hypothesis on mummification reframes ancient practices without invoking supernatural claims. Convergence Archaeology does not replace mainstream archaeology. It provides a conservative, physics-grounded experimental layer for evaluating field-system hypotheses using reproducible scientific methods.
