Overview
Technology transfer has played an increasingly important role in historic preservation during the latter half of the twentieth century, a situation attested to by the undertaking of an important congressional study in 1986 that assessed the role of federal agencies in the field. In this book leading researchers update the earlier findings and contribute state-of-the-art reviews and evaluations of technological progress in their areas of expertise.

Booknews
A series of studies on methods usually imported from other disciplines used in historical preservation to discover, document, and analyze; restore and conserve; and manage, maintain, and protect. The authors, from a wide range of public and private organizations, discuss such matters as remote sensing methods, science-based dating methods, underwater archaeology, determining provenance, preserving wood, geographical information systems, using computers in cultural resource management, and technologies against looting and vandalism.
