Description
The Archaeological Sciences 1999 conference hosted by BASRG at the University of Bristol brought together scientists from throughout the UK, and also international participants from France, Germany, Poland and Egypt. The papers presented provided a valuable insight into the exciting new avenues for research opening up to archaeological science within the UK. This volume is representative of the very broad range of research themes addressed during the conference, and the 13 papers include: (1) Electron microscopal (S.E.M.) studies on biodeteriorated archaeological Egyptian textiles; (2) Prehistoric crop husbandry and plant use in Southern England: development and regionality; (3) The recognition, interpretation and management of archaeological sites and landscapes using GPS survey and three-dimensional computer modeling; (4) Chaos and patterns: reconstructing past environments using modern data.
The molluscan experience; (5) A new method for estimating gestational age from skeletal long bone length; (6) Phosphate redistribution within the fabric of 5 pottery sherds from north Wales; (7) Assessing and modelling faunalturbation; (8) The Dnieper Rapids region of Ukraine: A consideration of chronology, diet and dental pathology at the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition; (9) Sampling for phosphorus over a grave site: Theory and practice; (10) Early Saxon cultivation of Emmer wheat in the Thames Valley and its cultural implications; (11) Antique to early Medieval copper-alloy metallurgy in Palestine; (12) Very-Realistic visualisation of the sculpted bas-reliefs from Cap Blanc; (13) Identification of a malaria epidemic in antiquity using ancient DNA.
