商品簡介
Paperbound edition of a recently published book about which Book News wrote: Toxic wastes and hazardous substances pose direct and significant health risks for archaeological survey and excavation programs, believe editors Feder (anthropology, Central Connecticut State U.) and Poirier (Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office). Increasingly, infectious diseases, radioactive and chemical contaminants and volatile explosives are replacing the traditional archaeological health concerns of poison ivy, sunburn, and mosquito bites. This book hopes to encourage archaeologists in the field or in the lab to become more cautious, more aware and more proactive to protect their health, with articles covering topics from Hantavirus and other diseases to unexploded munitions and arsenic-embalming practices of the late nineteenth century.
