Paleoimaging: Field Applications for Cultural Remains and Artifacts By Ronald G. Beckett, Gerald J. Conlogue * Publisher: CRC * Number Of Pages: 408 * Publication Date: 2009-09-21 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1420090712 * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781420090710 Product Description In this volume, two of the most preeminent experts in the field of paleoimaging provide an in-depth examination of a range of imaging techniques and explain how these techniques can be applied to all aspects of forensic and archaeological analysis. The book examines paleoimaging multimodalities, highlighting the advantages of each imaging technique in different scenarios and presenting procedural standards for the various techniques. They also demonstrate how multimodal imaging can assist nondestructive data collection of non-biological cultural artifacts. A final section addresses safety concerns. Case studies, tables, and templates of forms for documentation of findings enhance the text with practical information. From the Back Cover Medical and industrial imaging methods have come to be recognized as powerful tools for documentation and data collection in many nontraditional settings. In Paleoimaging: Field Applications for Cultural Remains and Artifacts, two of the most preeminent experts in the field provide an in-depth examination of a range of imaging techniques and explain how these techniques can be applied to all aspects of forensic and archaeological analysis. Multimodalities and Techniques The first part of the book examines paleoimaging multimodalities, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each imaging technique in different scenarios. The authors explore photography, conventional radiography, endoscopy, and various forms of computer-based imaging. Next, they present methodological and procedural standards for the various imaging techniques. They also demonstrate how multimodal imaging can assist nondestructive data collection of non-biological cultural artifacts. A final section addresses radiation safety and field safety concerns. Case studies, tables, and templates of forms for documentation of findings enhance the text with practical information.
