Use of Remote Sensing to Evaluate and Monitor the Condition of Prehistoric Earthen Structures (2000-14)

On December 31, 2000 By NCPTT
2000-14
The intent of the proposed research was to use historic aerial photographs to evaluate the effectiveness of using them as a data source to detect and document change in prehistoric earthen structures through time. There was some reason to believe that photogrammetric methods could serve as a basis for detecting changes in such archaeological remains, since they had apparently been used for such purposes by Blank (1985) at the Hopeton earthworks, part of Hopewell Culture National Historic Park in Ohio.

Proposal to Reduce the Exposure to Light of Museum Objects Without Reducing Illuminance (2000-10)

On December 31, 2000 By Derek Linn
Christopher Cuttle works with the Lighting Research Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to explore museum lighting options.  This image by Stuck in Customs on Flickr.
"Many types of museum exhibits are susceptible to damage caused by exposure to light, and current recommendations for museum lighting include avoidance of nonvisible radiant power (UV and IR), limitation of illumination level, and restriction of exposure duration. This article investigates the notion that the visual satisfaction provided by incandescent sources could be matched with significantly less irradiance by illumination composed of three spectral bands corresponding to red, green, and blue light."

Delivering Archeological Information Electronically (2000-02)

On December 31, 2000 By NCPTT
2000-02
Like archeological information on paper, the archeological information we get in digital form must be both appropriate and trustworthy. The forms we can obtain must be the right ones for the job — cost effective and usable. At the same time, what we receive — capta, information, knowledge or summary — must be dependable, resulting from transformations that we can understand and evaluate.

Research into Protective Coating Systems for Outdoor Bronze Sculpture and Ornamentation Phase III (2000-08)

On December 31, 2000 By NCPTT
Research into Protective Coating Systems for Outdoor Bronze Sculpture and Ornamentation Phase III - Document Cover

The ultimate goal of this three-phase research project was to develop new coating strategies through an increase in understanding of how coatings for outdoor bronze sculpture and ornamentation work and fail. The immediate objective of Phases II and III of the project was to determine the weathering performance of five medium to high performance coating [...]
