Abstract
The removal of protein from mineral surfaces: implications for residue analysis of archaeologica...
Oliver E Craig
Matthew J Collins
1077 - 1082
Compares the extraction efficiency of a number of different extraction reagents used to detect proteins in archaeological residues. Immunological and spectrophotometric assays are used to assess the amount of protein removed by each extraction method. Concludes that proteins are very strongly bound to the surface probably via short-range bonds.
Environmental controls on shipwreck preservation: the Irish context
A J Wheeler
1149 - 1159
Presents a discussion of environmental controls that affect the preservation of archaeological artefacts in the marine environment. Physical, biological and chemical degradation processes are discussed although it is appreciated that these processes operate in conjunction and often in a site-specific manner. Two Irish case studies are presented of environmental controls on shipwreck preservation: The Kish Bank, Outer Dublin Bay and La Surveillante, Bantry Bay. These illustrate contrasting environmental factors affecting shipwreck preservation.
A palaeoenvironmental investigation of sediments from the prehistoric mine of Copa Hill, Cwmystwyth, mid-Wales

1161 - 1188
Investigates the use of mine sediments to reconstruct the vegetational changes and atmospheric pollution history associated with prehistoric and medieval metal mining in the Ystwyth valley, Dyfed, mid-Wales. Pollen, charcoal, plant macrofossils, fossil insects and chemical analyses are presented from radiocarbon-dated sediments contained within a prehistoric mine situated on the upper slope of Copa Hill, close to the village of Cwmystwyth. The results provide additional support to the hypothesis that prehistoric mining had a negligible impact on woodland and that deforestation took place after Bronze Age mining ceased.
