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.

As Kris Hurst put it on her About.com blog, Time Team America "brings a Mission Impossible team of professional archaeologists to a different archaeological site in the United States," where they spend "three days at each site, bringing along a raft of cutting edge remote sensing and geophysical survey techniques."]]> http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/ptt-grantees-make-time-team-america/feed/ 1 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/the-aftershock-of-economics-meets-conservation-online/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/the-aftershock-of-economics-meets-conservation-online/#comments Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:01:19 +0000 Mary Striegel http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=3431 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/the-aftershock-of-economics-meets-conservation-online/feed/ 3 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/262500-awarded-for-2009-ptt-grants/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/262500-awarded-for-2009-ptt-grants/#comments Mon, 20 Apr 2009 11:58:48 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=2967 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/262500-awarded-for-2009-ptt-grants/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/architectural-records-conference-2008-03/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/architectural-records-conference-2008-03/#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 19:37:23 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=896 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/architectural-records-conference-2008-03/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/swelling-mechanism-in-clay-bearing-sandstones-2007-09/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/swelling-mechanism-in-clay-bearing-sandstones-2007-09/#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 18:59:06 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1030 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/swelling-mechanism-in-clay-bearing-sandstones-2007-09/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/identification-of-unmarked-graves-2008-01/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/identification-of-unmarked-graves-2008-01/#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:11:59 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1239 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/identification-of-unmarked-graves-2008-01/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/#comments Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:45:57 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=902 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/building-dry-stone-retaining-walls-2002-06/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dynamics-of-participatory-conservation-the-kamehameha-i-sculpture-project/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dynamics-of-participatory-conservation-the-kamehameha-i-sculpture-project/#comments Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:49:00 +0000 Mary Striegel http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1555 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dynamics-of-participatory-conservation-the-kamehameha-i-sculpture-project/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-anchor-strength-in-stone-masonry-2008-05/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-anchor-strength-in-stone-masonry-2008-05/#comments Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:17:56 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1293 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/mechanical-anchor-strength-in-stone-masonry-2008-05/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dry-tortugas-searching-for-the-windjammer-avanti-2004-22/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dry-tortugas-searching-for-the-windjammer-avanti-2004-22/#comments Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:35:04 +0000 Andrew Ferrell http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=841 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/dry-tortugas-searching-for-the-windjammer-avanti-2004-22/feed/ 3 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/archeology-goes-hd/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/archeology-goes-hd/#comments Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:23:28 +0000 Adam Zelasko http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=1434 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/archeology-goes-hd/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/fire-and-ice-americas-cultural-heritage-underwater/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/fire-and-ice-americas-cultural-heritage-underwater/#comments Tue, 23 Sep 2008 01:13:39 +0000 Andrew Ferrell http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=826 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/fire-and-ice-americas-cultural-heritage-underwater/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/biscayne-americas-cultural-heritage-underwater-2004-18/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/biscayne-americas-cultural-heritage-underwater-2004-18/#comments Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:28:00 +0000 Andrew Ferrell http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=820 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/biscayne-americas-cultural-heritage-underwater-2004-18/feed/ 0 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preserving-americas-landscape-legacy-1996-02/ http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preserving-americas-landscape-legacy-1996-02/#comments Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:04:27 +0000 NCPTT http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/?p=809 http://www.ncptt.nps.gov/preserving-americas-landscape-legacy-1996-02/feed/ 0
