Microarchaeology seeks to understand the microscopic record in terms of the types of information embedded in this record, the materials in which this information resides, and the conditions under which a reliable signal can be extracted. This book highlights the concepts needed to extract information from the microscopic record. Intended for all archaeologists and archaeological scientists, it will be of particular interest to students who have some background in the natural sciences and archaeology. This book
• emphasizes the nature of the materials in which information is embedded
and the problems associated with extracting a real signal,
• provides a comprehensive list of the types of information embedded in the
microscopic archaeological record, and
• offers an in-depth overview of the use of infrared spectroscopy for analyzing
the microscopic record, the only one of its kind available.
