Over a three year period, Dr. Curt Beck will continue his                       analysis of organic artifacts recovered in European Paleolithic                 and Neolithic archaeological sites.  The research is designed not               only to increase understanding of European prehistory -                         especially patterns of trade - but also to involve Vassar                       undergraduates in scientific research.  Dr. Beck will focus on                  three areas:  1. the provenience analysis of archaeological                     artifacts of amber and related fossil resins in European                        prehistory, principally by infrared spectroscopy; 2. the analysis               and identification of non-fossil resinous and fatty residues and                coatings in archaeological ceramics, principally by gas                         chromatography/mass spectrometry; 3. the application of computers               to spectra classification, data management and simulation of                    mathematical models of prehistoric exchange systems.  The                       research is important because it will increase understanding of                 how complex societies developed.  It will also encourage                        undergraduates to pursue careers in science.
