商品簡介
The 20 papers were completed in 2004 to mark the retirement from Oxford University of Michael Tite, a pioneer in applying physics to archaeology. The editorial and publishing process proved longer than the composition. The topics include raw materials and manufacturing processes of neolithic pottery from Switzerland, Egyptian blue in Greek painting between 2500 and 50 BC, a possibly foreign glassworker at Amarna, the microanalysis of glass by laser induced plasma spectroscopy, lead isotopes and Archaeology, and industrial waste from the medieval sugar refinery at the Tawah en-Sukkar in Jordan. There is no index. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
