Biological Techniques in Archaeology1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 June 2018
Abstract
Analysis of color and cuticular patterns of mammalian hair and examination of epidermal plant cells may be used to identify fragmentary remains from archaeological sites when standard taxonomic procedures cannot be applied. The techniques described will help the non-biologist decide when to request assistance from the specialist. An inexpensive apparatus for taking photomicrographs is described.
