Abstract
Imaging the invisible using modified digital still cameras for straightforward and low-cost archaeological near-infrared photography
Geert Verhoeven
3087 - 3100
Suggests that analogue near-infrared (NIR) photography could be of value in archaeological recording, noting that this technique has been greatly simplified by the advent of digital camera technology (which makes obsolete the complicated processing required by film-based NIR techniques). Discusses the practicalities of the technique for archaeological applications with examples. PP-B
On the application of 3-D scanning technology for the documentation and typology of lithic artifacts
Leore Grosman

Uzy Smilansky
3101 - 3110
Describes a new method of obtaining precise and complete representations of lithic artefacts via the use of a 3-D optical scanner. This is illustrated by the analysis of ninety scanned Lower Palaeolithic handaxes.
Pedogenetic dating of loess strata
Robert G Bednarik
3124 - 3129
Tests competing hypotheses for the cause of changes in relative carbonate contents in loess sediments over time. PP-B
Experimentally produced glass compared with that occurring at The Torr, NW Scotland, UK; vitrification through biotite melting

3130 - 3143
It is proposed that the vitrification in some Iron Age forts in NW Scotland can be explained through decomposition of micas (largely biotite) giving melts that react with or dissolve quartz and crystallise orthopyroxene and feldspars, so equating with the reaction biotite + quartz = sanidine + orthopyroxene + liquid. A sample of Moine semi-pelite has been experimentally melted at c. 850 °C demonstrating this breakdown reaction. A preserved thermal gradient across the sample reveals the progressive degradation of biotite towards the melting (upper) surface.
Stable oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δD) isotopes in ovicaprid dentinal collagen record seasonal variation
Karola Kirsanow
Cheryl Makarewicz
Noreen Tuross
3159 - 3167
Explores organic sources of δ18O and δD in mineralised tissue using data from the study of samples taken from the lower cheek teeth of four modern ovicaprids from the Baga Gazar'in Chuluu (BGC) region of the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. A significant correlation between trends in hydrogen and oxygen isotope values within individual teeth was identified. These data are taken to indicate that dentin collagen δ18O and δD isotopic values reflect seasonal variation in the organic oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition of diet and ingested water. It is argued that paired measurements of dentin collagen δ18O and δD therefore appear to be reliable seasonal climatic indicators.
