Research Institute (WRI), INNOV-X and Country Chemist are sponsoring
a SHA workshop of the capabilities of the newly developed pXRF
technology for archaeology with "hands on" use of the new, INNOV-X
family of analyzers at the Amelia Inn Conference Center, site of the SHA
2010 Conference at Amelia Island Florida on Wednesday, <span
style='color:red'>January 6th</span>. Dr. Claudia Brackett,
Archaeochemist, of California State University-Stanislaus (CSUS) and Mr.
Richard J. Lundin, Archaeogeophysicist, RPA and Director of WRI will conduct the
workshop. All interested parties are also invited to bring samples
for free pXRF analyses at the INNOV-X booth at the conference. Dr.
Brackett and Mr. Lundin are pioneers in the use of this technology for
archaeology and have given very successful workshops and presentations on its
use at SHA meetings in Sacramento, Williamsburg, Albuquerque and
Toronto; SAA meetings in San Juan, Austin and Vancouver, SCA
meetings in Burbank and Modesto, AGU meetings in Acapulco and San
Francisco,a National Park Service Workshop in San Francisco and several
industry sponsored workshops in Vancouver, San Diego and Mexico City.</span></em><span

<p class=MsoNormal><em><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Chemistry
has always been an effective tool for the modern Archaeologist. However,
with the development of new technology, chemical analysis is becoming
increasingly easier, cheaper and thus more important. The workshop is
designed to give the practicing Archaeologist a basic working understanding of
the chemical principles that are applicable and specific to archaeology.
The class is targeted for a participant that has little or no previous
background in chemistry. Topics to be covered are "Elements and
Molecules, or what is in that stuff anyway?" " Biomolecules, or
getting a site/object to speak to you," "Chemical Statistics, or
understanding all that gibberish that came back from the lab," and Soil
Chemistry, or getting information when you can't see a thing."
Topics will be presented in a combination of lecture and hands-on
demonstrations. We will be using simple UV-Visible spectrophotometer,
portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer and, possibly, other field
portable equipment. Participants are encouraged to bring their own
specimens for non-destructive analysis. The specimens should be solids
(not liquids) and either 10 grams of material, or a surface area about 3/4 inch
square."</span></em><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
