The individuation and identification of residues is attempted using morphological and chemical techniques, these latter divided between invasive and non-invasive. Each employed technique has its own advantages and limitations. Both traces and residues analysis require a comparison to useful replicas. Even with regard to the making of replicas, no shared protocol exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe workshop underlined the necessity to outline the basis for developing a common protocol concerning both analysis procedures and replicas realization. The adoption of consistent methods will make it possible for data obtained by multiple researchers to become interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"British Archaeological Reports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047251624176,"sku":"9781407312880","price":62.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781407312880_p0.jpg?v=1763718330","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781407312880","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
