This book is number 171 in the Advances in Chemistry Series based on a symposium at the 174th Meeting of the ACS in Chicago, 111., Aug. 31-Sept. 1, 1977. The 20 chapters are organized around the classification of the materials analyzed—organic materials, ceramics, and metals—along with five introductory chapters on overall perspectives and general techniques. Among the techniques are radiocarbon dating, spark source MS, X-ray radiography, trace element analysis, amino acid analysis, AA, and lead isotope analysis.
