Because each waterway is chemically different to some extent, and because mussels incorporate the chemicals into their shells, it is theoretically possible to identify where shell artifacts or shell-tempered pottery was made by chemically analyzing the shell.]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/sourcing-shell-and-shell-tempered-artifacts-using-laser-ablation-2009-02/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ptt-grantees-make-time-team-america/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ptt-grantees-make-time-team-america/#comments Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:42:06 +0000 David W.
