This award will provide partial funding toward the purchase                of an x.ray diffractometer analysis system to be housed in the                  Department of Geological Sciences at Southern Methodist                         University. The instrument will replace a 1966 version that is no               longer working properly and is outdated completely in its                       capabilities for modern research. The x.ray diffractometer                      laboratory will be maintained as a cost center within the SMU                   Institute for the Study of Earth and Man, a research unit which                 includes the departments of anthropology and geological sciences.                    X.ray diffraction techniques are standard tools for                        identifying and characterizing solid matter encountered in                      anthropological and geological research. Institute projects which               will make immediate use of the new equipment include research in                metamorphic petrology, origin of carbonate cements in sedimentary               rocks, ocean phosphates, sources of clays for Taos area ceramics,               and source areas for African hornfels artifacts.
