The case studies provided in Case Studies for Advances in
Paleoimaging will provide the reader with real-world scenarios and
case examples that will help prepare researchers to discover new
ways to apply the various modalities associated with the
technology. This book is a follow-up to the Beckett and Conlogue's
classic work Paleoimaging (2009) and companion to their new
contribution Advances in Paleoimaging (2020). The case studies
outlined demonstrate the problem-solving nature of imaging research
and the application of critical thought to unique problems.
Further, Case Studies for Advances in Paleoimaging demonstrates the
incredible depth of application of these modalities including
photography, endoscopy, x-ray fluorescence, plane radiography,
digital radiography, and advanced imaging modalities like
multi-detector computed tomography, micro-computed tomography, and
magnetic resonance imaging. Of particular note, case study seven,
Contrast Media Injections, informs the researcher regarding methods
to bring out specific anatomic structures that may be the target of
a given research question. Intended for students, faculty, and
seasoned researchers, Case Studies for Advances in Paleoimaging
presents actual cases from the authors' vast experience in the
application of paleoimaging modalities in order to answer unique
research problems. The book also serves as a field manual for
current and future researchers as they approach similar or new
cases that present unique challenges. These cases demonstrate how
the varied imaging methodologies can provide data which greatly
enriches our understanding of the subject at hand, be it ancient
cultural remains, forensic recovery, museum holdings, or other
anthropological and archaeological artifacts.
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. 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 artefacts. 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. Filled with over 380 images, this
book is supplemented with an accompanying downloadable resource in
which the authors draw from their global experience in the
paleoimaging of cultural remains and artefacts, offering a view of
the diverse environments in which field paleoimaging is conducted.
The breadth of the authors' expertise and the rich images contained
in the book and downloadable resources make this resource an
essential reference for those who seek to explore the mysteries of
the past.
Advances in Paleoimaging: Applications for Paleoanthropology,
Bioarchaeology, Forensics, and Cultural Artifacts builds on the
research and advances in technology since the writing of the
authors' first book, Paleoimaging: Field Applications for Cultural
Remains and Artifacts (ISBN: 978-1-4200-9071-0). Since Paleoimaging
was published in 2009, additional research settings for the
application of advanced imaging technologies have been identified.
Practices are now more widespread and standardized with the
capabilities and utilization of imaging methodologies increasing
dramatically. Given the numerous advances in paleoimaging technique
and technology, this book chronicles the evolution that has taken
place in all the imaging modalities. Chapters include the coverage
of magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, plane and
digital radiography, endoscopy, and applications of x-ray
fluorescence, as well as the principles of industrial radiography.
While the book focuses on a multimodal imaging approach to
anthropological and archaeological research, the authors and
contributing authors have vast experience in other areas and
present coverage of biological applications as well. The
multidisciplinary chapters provide a foundation to understand the
application of various imaging modalities in archaeological,
anthropological, bioanthropological, and forensic settings. As
such, Advances in Paleoimaging will serve as an essential reference
for conservators, museum archivists, forensic anthropologists,
paleopathologists, and archaeologists, who perform non-destructive
research on historical or culturally significant artifacts,
remains, or material from a forensic investigation. The concepts
and methods presented in this text are supported with case
presentations of the authors' vast experience in the new companion
book, Case Studies for Advances in Paleoimaging (ISBN:
978-0-367-25166-6) by Beckett, Conlogue, and Nelson (2020).
