Abstract
Quantifying the size of artefact assemblages
Peter Hiscock
251 - 258
Processes such as breaking, burning and weathering may act differentially across categories of stone tools, and will therefore affect interpretations of assemblage size and composition. This paper advocates a more detailed consideration of abundance estimates in artefact analyses, being guided by the understandings built up in archaeological studies of fauna, and begins the process by developing some basic units of measurement for counting flaked stones.
Monitoring and modelling saturation as a proxy indicator for in situ preservation in wetlands -- a GIS-based approach
Henry H P Chapman
James L Cheetham
277 - 289
The preservation of waterlogged deposits is being degraded in many areas due to de-watering through agricultural drainage and water abstraction. This paper presents an approach to monitoring the saturation of the burial environment and modelling this data using a geographical information system (GIS). It demonstrates a method aimed at modelling the conditions of current preservation, and predictively modelling the conditions for long-term, in situ preservation in order to provide a baseline for resource management. It is shown that the quantification of saturation is possible and advantageous in the management of dynamic wetland environments.
