ABSTRACT

In this section, we offer two chapters addressing potential guidelines and procedures for the systematic application of paleoimaging modalities. The guidelines and procedures described in this section are intended to help those involved in paleoimaging research projects and their colleagues make decisions on how to approach a specific research problem. Decisions regarding instrumentation and image receptor selection, projections, biopsy approaches, and other variables associated with paleoimaging are presented. The guidelines presented in this section also suggest a rationale for standardized reporting of paleoimaging procedures and data.
