Another way to follow my research

Nov 26, 2014

Another way to follow my researchI just realized I forgot to post this earlier -
On the advice of another PhD student who crowdfunded his research, I've started a FB page.  It is significantly less formal than what I'll be posting here.  I'll be posting not just updates to my work, but any interesting related links I find, and resources about crowdfunded research (if folks are interested).

If Lara Croft had a laser gun: Chemical analysis of residue on archaeological stone

Texas A&M University

This innovative, collaborative project addresses whether infrared spectroscopy can be used to characterize organic residues on fire-cracked rocks (FCR), enabling archaeologists to accurately identify what was cooked in earth ovens. To do so, I will create a reference collection and test both modern experimentally produced residues and residues from archaeological FCR. Some initial work has already been published - there's a link below.
