Abstract
Changes in the metal content of human hair during diagenesis from 500 years, exposure to glacial and aqueous environments

450 - 466
Scanning electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry have been used to examine the extent and possible mechanisms by which the metal content of human hair is altered by exposure to aqueous environments. The results, using both modern hair and samples from 500-year-old hair associated with glacier-entombed remains, show that the metal content has been altered sufficiently so that the interpretation of the metal signature in terms of diet or disease is problematic. While endogenous information is difficult to glean from these data, interesting observations have been made of possible early stages of mineral authigenic deposition. The chemistry of the outer hair surface was found to be consistent with deposition of Fe and Al silicates, as well as other mineral phases. The ancient hair was analysed at the root region and included a comparison of the internal versus external composition to assist in identifying the diagenetic processes.
Evaluating histological methods for assessing hair fibre degradation

Defines morphological features of degradative change in human terminal scalp hair using different microscopy techniques. Evidence of degradative change is translated into a ranked histology for assessing hair sample condition. The approach is applied to samples of cut modern scalp hair subjected to degradation under soil burial/simulated grave conditions.
Investigating material decay of historic buildings using visual analytics with multi-temporal infrared thermographic data

482 - 501
Uses visual analytics methodology to facilitate interpretation of multi-temporal thermographic imagery for the purpose of restoration of cultural heritage. The approach is tested on a thermographic dataset captured on the façade of a Romanesque building from the thirteenth century '” the Cathedral in Matera (Italy).
A new true ortho-photo methodology for complex archaeological application
Yahya Alshawabkeh

517 - 530
Presents an approach for the automated production of true ortho-mosaics for the documentation of cultural objects. The algorithm uses precise three-dimensional surface representations derived from laser scanning and several digital images that entirely cover the object of interest. After identifying all model surface triangles in the viewing direction, the triangles are projected back on to all initial images to establish visibilities for every available image. Missing image information can be filled in from adjacent images that must have been subjected to the same true ortho-photo procedure.
