Archaeological Chemistry IV

O

ur knowledge of the past has been greatly enhanced by archaeological chemistry. Now you can learn more about this fascinating field—the applications and techniques used by chemists, new possi­ bilities in determining age, authenticity, ancient diets, etc., analysis of inorganic and organic materials, and more in this exciting new volume. Twenty-seven chapters examine the grow­ ing contributions that chemists and bio­ chemists have made to the study of proteinaceous materials in archaeological samples. Divided into five sections, the topics include: • • • • •

lithic and ceramic materials metals art objects organic materials fibers

New and existing techniques are provided in­ cluding instrumental neutron activation analy­ sis, trace element analysis, X-ray diffraction, IR microspectroscopy, carbon dating, radiocalcium dating, electron spin resonance, mono­ clonal antibody formation, scanning electron microscopy, and photomicrography. Separate chapters discuss the Shroud of Turin, composition of Nile sediments, classifi­ cation of Mexican majolica ceramics, metals of the Mediterranean Bronze Age, composition of coins of the Roman Republic, the tomb of Nefertari, historical silk fabrics, and more.

Gerald J. Small is professor of chemis­ try at Iowa State University and se­ nior chemist at Ames Laboratory— USDOE. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the Universi­ ty of Pennsylvania in 1967. Following a two-year appointment as a research fellow at the Australian National Uni­ versity, he joined the faculty oflSU in 1969. His research interests include molecular electronic spectroscopy, linear and nonlinear laser spectrosco­ pies, energy and electron transfer in photosynthesis, carcinogen metabo­ lism and cellular macromolecular damage, and structural disorder and tunneling in amorphous solids.

Ryszard Jankowiak is an associate sci­ entist at Ames Laboratory—USDOE. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the Technical University in Gdansk (Poland) in 1981 and was a research associate and visiting scientist at the Philipps University in Marburg ( West Germany) from 1981 to 1985. His re­ search interests include molecular electronic spectroscopy, laser bioanalytical spectroscopy, chemical carci­ nogenesis, photosynthesis, and struc­ tural disorder and tunneling in amor­ phous solids at very low temperatures.
