Physics Methods in Archaeometry
The role of exact sciences in connection with cultural heritage now is well established and a new scientific branch has been generated: Archaeometry. Literally, Archaeometry means measurement on ancient objects. It is a multidisciplinary field of Investigations where the rigorous methods of exact sciences give a fundamental contribution to solving the problems associated with conservation and restoration, as well as to the study itself of the cultural heritage. Archaeometry, as a scientific research field, involves interdisciplinary groups formed by scholars of the humanistic area together with scientists: physicists, chemists, mathematicians, biologists, engineers, etc. The primary justification for the need of involving exact sciences in the field which, in the past, traditionally has been exclusive of Art Historians must no doubt be found in the conservation and restoration activities. The second argument which, in the public opinion, justifies the involvement of science with the world of Art is the confidence that scientific methods are Infallible in unmasking forgeries. But in our opinion the awareness of the central role of scientific methods as a support for philological and
The Etruscans and the History of Dentistry
The Etruscans and the History of Dentistry offers a study of the construction and use of gold dental appliances in ancient Etruscan culture, and their place within the framework of a general history of dentistry, with special emphasis on appliances, from Bronze Age Mesopotamia and Egypt to modern Europe and the Americas. Included are many of the ancient literary sources that refer to dentistry - or the lack thereof - in Greece and Rome, as well as the archaeological evidence of ancient dental health. The book challenges many past works in exposing modern scholars’ fallacies about ancient dentistry, while presenting the incontrovertible evidence of the Etruscans’ seemingly modern attitudes to cosmetic dentistry.

Faraonova pečeť
Faraonova pečeť je křesťanská knížka na téma evoluce nebo stvoření. Tato otázka je zde zpracovaná formou příběhu. Tři dospívající najdou v hroudě uhlí podivný nález a začnou přemýšlet o původu života a o historii. Jejich dobrodružství začíná v Českém ráji, ale postupně je zavede do Berlína a do Egypta, kde ve Velké pyramidě pátrají spolu s podivínským německým archeologem po tajemství, skrytém za zapečetěnými dvířky. A aby toho nebylo málo, mají zákeřného nepřítele, který je jim nejen na stopě, ale často je naopak o krok napřed a hází jim klacky pod nohy. Když se hlavní postavy seznámí s rodinou protestantského pastora, vyvstane také otázka, jak je to s Bohem a zda je možné ho opravdu poznat.

Radiation in Art and Archeometry
/inca/publications/misc/creaghcov.htmAbout the cover This book contains twenty chapters covering a wide range of research in the fields of scientific conservation of art and archaeometry. The common thread is the use of radiation in these analyses. The term "radiation" is used in the widest possible sense. The book encompasses the use of electromagnetic radiation in its microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x ray and &ggr; ray forms and the use of particulate forms such as electrons, neutrons and charged particles for which the Planck's Law relation applies. In many cases there is an interplay between the two forms: for example, proton induced x ray emission (PIXE), secondary ion mass s...
