Abstract
Luminescence properties of chert and some archaeological applications
D G Akridge
Paul H Benoit
143 - 151
An examination of the cathodoluminescence (CL) and induced thermoluminescence (TL) properties of chert. Suggests that the application of these techniques may provide a useful criterion in establishing the number of chert varieties or sourcing chert provenance for artefacts collected from archaeological sites.
Archaeofaunal relative abundance, sample size, and statistical methods
Michael D Cannon
185 - 195
Suggests that an alternative chi-square-based statistical method for evaluating trends in sample relative abundance, Cochran's test of linear trend, results in lower rates of errors than is the case with previously used methods.
Non-destructive phase analysis of archaeological ceramics using TOF neutron diffraction
W Kockelmann
A Kirfel
E Hähnel
213 - 222
Suggests that since neutrons are highly penetrating, neutron diffraction of ancient ceramics allows non-destructive investigations of bulk samples rather than of surface layers or powdered material. This is said to mean that complete, intact specimens can be studied. A time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffractometer is said to offer additional advantages considering experimental set-up, accommodation of large objects and data collection times. Initial tests indicated that reliable results can be obtained by illuminating a large piece or even a complete ceramic object without causing damage. Medieval Rhenish ceramics were used in testing.
