Comparison of the sizes of burnt rice seeds from archaeological sites in Northern Vietnam indicates that rice seeds mainly belong to the round plump (short round) type, which includes summer glutinous rice and field glutinous rice. These findings suggest that rice became a popular crop in the life of ancient Vietnamese as early as 3,000 years ago, and was widely distributed in the North of the country.

The main types of archaeological relics such as ancient trade ports, sunken ships and shipyards are found sufficiently in the two provinces. In terms of date and origin, there is a diversity of the archaeological artefacts, including the ceramic, the stone, the iron and the wooden ones. Due to the present demands for people’s life and local economic development, the cultural heritage is getting damaged more and more seriously.

The potential of underwater archaeology in particular and maritime archaeology in general in Quang Nam and Quang Ngai are extremely significant. The system of rivers, canals and arroyos in these two provinces is fairly dense; along the coast, there are many seaports and bays, which are favorable for ships and boats to travel.

This volume is the first of a series on “Physical Techniques in the Study of Art, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage”. It follows a successful earlier publication by Elsevier (Radiation in Art and Archaeometry), also produced by the editors of this book, Dr David Bradley (Department of Physics, University of Surrey) and Professor Dudley Creagh (Director of the Cultural Heritage Research Centre, University of Canberra).

In this Volume 2 of the series on the use of physical techniques for the study of art, archaeology, and cultural heritage, we continue our policy of choosing topics from widely different fields of cultural heritage conservation. Also, we have chosen authors both in their early and late careers. In Chapter 1, Dudley Creagh writes on “Synchrotron radiation and its use in art, archaeometry, and cultural heritage studies”. He is Professor and a Director of the Cultural Heritage Research Centre at the University of Canberra, Canberra, Australia....

Many Modern Ecological problems such as rain forest destruction, decreasing marine harvests, and fire suppression are directly or indirectly anthropogenic. Zooarchaeology and Conservation Biology presents an argument that conservation biology and wildlife management cannot afford to ignore zooarchaeological research--the identification and analysis of faunal remains recovered from archaeological deposits. The editors contend that we can learn important lessons by studying long-term human and nonhuman influences on biota and ecosystems.

The excavations conducted by the Greek Archæological Society at Athens from 1883 to 1889 have laid bare the entire surface of the Acropolis, and shed an unexpected light upon the early history of Attic art. Many questions which once seemed unanswerable are now definitively answered, and, on the other hand, many new questions have been raised.

Beginning with modest initial attempts in roughly the 1960s, digital image processing has become a recognized field of science, as well as a broadly accepted methodology, to solve practical problems in many different kinds of human activities. The applications encompass an enormous range, starting perhaps with astronomy, geology, and physics, via medical, biological, and ecological imaging and technological exploitation, up to the initially unexpected use in humane sciences, e.g., archaeology or art history.

Criminal psychology, forensic technology, and profiling. These three disciplines have received a wealth of media attention over the past decade. Consequently, due to public and professional interest, a plethora of books have been published. The technique of offender profiling, or classifying offenders according to their behaviors and characteristics, has been developing slowly as a possible investigative tool since 1841 and the publication of the The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Alan Poe, in which detective C.

THE CASTING OF METAL is a prehistoric technology, but one that appears relatively late in the archaeological record. There were many earlier fire-using technologies, collectively called by Wertime pyrotechnology, which provided a basis for the development of metal casting.

The genus Camelus was probably among the last of the major domestic species to be put to regular use by man. There is a little direct evidence for an exact time of domestication, mainly because the camel has changed relatively little as a result of selection and, whereas it is possible at archaeological sites to observe the changes in other species, this is not the case for camels. Since the early camel owners were nomadic, they left few permanent mementoes of their presence. The most likely time of domestication, however, is about 4000 years BP (before present).

As a veterinary medicine student, in 1985, my interest in Indian art and archaeology was strengthened during a bachelor course given at the Faculty for South Asian Languages and Cultures by Karel van Kooij. As a result of his great enthusiasm, it was that I decided to add as many art history lessons as possible to the curriculum of my secondary study, that of Indology. The rest of this curriculum was devoted to Sanskrit, in which I evidently fi nished my PhD. This classic language, had my interest, not only because of the inspiring lessons and admiration for classic...

Understanding the origins of humanity has long been one of our foremost intellectual pursuits, and one that greatly interests the general public as evidenced by museum attendance and by numerous media productions and general interest publications. Progress toward an improved understanding of our heritage is a continuing challenge for the scientific community, requiring advances in a range of disciplines that include archaeology, anthropology, geology, biology, oceanography, and genetics, and particularly research advances in areas where two or more of these fields intersect.

This book is an attempt to situate archaeology within the domain of contemporary human affairs, and to forge a new methodology for coping with environmental problems from an archaeological perspective. From this perspective, the papers included in this volume highlight the aspects of the historical relationships between people and climatic change that are potentially useful in coping with current climatic fluctuations.
