The application of a new method of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to the analysis of burned bone
This work spans the areas of materials technology (specifically biomaterials) and our work on the development of new analytical tools through our Analytical Instrumentation, Measurement and Control Engineering research theme. The work has been used (e.g. Butler and Dawson, 2013, J Archaeological Sci) to enhance the use of the Crystallinity Index in studying burned bone and other biomaterials. It has been implemented in a range of contexts e.g. ZSL Institute of Zoology in their work on mass extinctions (samuel.turvey@ioz.ac.uk), forensic casework involving unidentified remains from the sea (Humberside Police) and two homicide cases in Sydney (Barbara.Stuart-1@uts.edu.au, University of Technology, Sydney).
