Any of the genetic forms (individual variants) that account for polymorphism.
Industry:Archaeology
The lod (logarithm of odds) score method is a statistical analysis, usually performed by computer programs, based on data from pedigrees. It is used to test for linkage between two loci in humans.
Industry:Archaeology
Used in the analysis of artifact composition, this technique is similar to XRF (X-ray flourescence spectrometry), and is useful for studying small changes in composition within the body of an artifact.
Industry:Archaeology
A large circular foramen passing through the petrous of the temporal, that provides a passageway for the internal carotid artery and the carotid nerves.
Industry:Archaeology
A technique used in the analysis of artifact composition, based on the principle that electrons, when excited (i.e. heated to a high temperature), release light of a particular wavelength. The presence or absence of various elements is established by examining the appropriate spectral line of their characteristic wavelengths. Generally, this method gives an accuracy of only 25 percent and has been superseded by ICPS (inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry).
Industry:Archaeology
Determination of the ordered sequence of sites, artifacts, or fossils.
Industry:Archaeology
Overlapping fields of vision in which both eyes can focus on a distant object to produce a stereoscopic (three-dimensional) image.
Industry:Archaeology
