Publisher Description An invaluable field textbook, "Objects: Reluctant Witnesses to the Past "examines nine detailed case studies to provide a brilliantly clear and comprehensible guide to the different methods and approaches (cultural, forensic, and technical) which can and have been used to study ancient artefacts. From the Bayeaux Tapestry, to small medieval brass pins, Chris Caples integral text deals with a full range of materials, from medieval wooden doors to Saxon jewellery, and clearly and simply explains key scientific techniques, technology, anthropological jargon and historical approaches. Key demonstrations include: * how information from objects builds into a picture of the ancient society that made and used it * the commonly used scientific techniques for object analysis * how and why object typologies work * how cultural and economic factors as well as the material properties influences what objects are made of * how simple observation of an object can build its biography. Revealing answers to crucial questions such as: Can DNA be obtained from objects? Why do people x-ray ancient artefacts? Can you determine the source of metal objects from their trace elements?,"Objects: Reluctant Witnesses to the Past" is an absolutely essential text for students of archaeology, museum studies, and conservation. Author Biography Chris Caple is Senior Lecturer in archaeological science and conservation at the University of Durham and author of Conservation Skills: Judgement, Method and Decision Making.
