Condition description: a moderately used ex-library copy, the plastic mylar shows some minor shelf wear, circulation ship has been torn off, book has stamps, labels, bar codes and security label, bar codes have been crossed through with black magic marker. Symposium held in Aug / Sept 1977 on Archeological Chemistry. From the end-flap: Archaeological chemistry is a mature yet growing field. Analytical techniques continue to unfold that lead to an understanding of archaeological specimens composed of glass, metal, bone, pottery, etc. The deduction of history from the analysis and investigation of such materials through authenticity studies, dating, and identification of sources and production techniques help to make archaeological chemistry a most rewarding and interesting field. The 20 chapters in this volume have been organized around the classification of the materials analyzed - organic materials, ceramics, and metals - along with five introductory chapters on overall perspectives and general techniques. Among the techniques discussed are radiocarbon dating, spark source mass spectrometry, x-ray radiography, trace element analysis, amino acid analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and lead isotope analysis. Among the various materials investigated are ancient Near Eastern ivory, South American dyes, Egyptian glass, Spanish ceramics, Chinese bronzes, prehistoric American copper, and copper-based Roman coins. - articles include: Chemistry and Archaeology: A Creative Bond / Chemical Aspects of the Conservation of Archaeological Materials / Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective / Spark Source Mass Spectrometry in Archaeological Chemistry / Applications of X-Ray Radiography in the Study of Archaeological Objects / ORGANIC MATERIALS Section: / Trace Element Analysis in the Characterization of Archaeological Bone / Amino Acid Analysis in Radiocarbon Dating of Bone Collagen / Amino Acid Racemization Dating of Bone and Shell / Chemical Investigations on Ancient Near Eastern Archaeological Ivory Artifacts Fluorine and Nitrogen Composition / Asphalts from Middle Eastern Archaeological Sites / The Identification of Dyes in Archaeological and Ethnographic Textiles / CERAMICS Section: Analysis of Early Egyptian Class by Atomic Absorption and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy / Elemental Compositions of Spanish and Spanish-Colonial Majolica Ceramics in the Identification of Provenience / Rare Earth Element Distribution Patterns to Characterize Soapstone Artifacts / Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy of Archaeological Ceramic Materials / METALS Section: Possible Change of Lead Isotope Ratios in the Manufacture of Pigments: A Fractionation Experiment / Lead Isotope Analyses and Possible Metal Sources for Nigerian 'Bronzes' / Ternary Representations of Ancient Chinese Bronze Compositions / Prehistoric Copper Artifacts in the Eastern United States / Chemical Compositions of Copper-Based Roman Coins Augustan Quadrantes
