Parasitology as an Interpretive Tool in Archaeology

Synthesizing Parasitology with Archaeology in Paleopathology

Introduction Parasitology is the study of organisms that are symbi-otic with other organisms. In this form of symbiosis, the parasite species by definition benefits from the interaction while the host is harmed to some degree. In actuality, some parasites benefit their hosts. The animals traditionally studied by parasitologists range from protozoa to arthropods, and include all types of interna...

Beyond Digital Dwelling: Re-thinking Interpretive Visualisation in Archaeology

Archaeology is a visually rich discipline with a long history of utilising images across a variety of contexts within its practice. However, due to the often unavoidably subjective nature of visual interpretation, fundamental issues with its application remain problematic and largely unresolved. Furthermore, in recent years the rising dominance of digital techniques for archaeological threedime...

Tourism as an Economic Develpment Tool

Inverse density-functional theory as an interpretive tool for measuring colloid-surface interactions in dense systems.

Recent advances in optical microscopy, such as total internal reflection and confocal scanning laser techniques, now permit the direct three-dimensional tracking of large numbers of colloidal particles both near and far from interfaces. A novel application of this technology, currently being developed by one of the authors under the name of diffusing colloidal probe microscopy (DCPM), is to use...
