In today’s archaeological environment full excavation is almost impossible due to a lack of funding. In order to gain a broad picture of a wreck, the archaeologists at the St Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum collect a wide sample of field specimens, not knowing what artifacts may lay inside the concretions. It isn’t until after the concretions have been x-rayed that conservators can determine which concretions may contain the most useful diagnostic information and start the conservation...

Repeat photography, the collection of multiple photographs of the same subject from an identical location, is an effective technique for documenting the natural and cultural processes impacting archaeological sites, yet remains underutilized in cultural resource management. Analysis of repeat photographs may yield important data for understanding the processes affecting site integrity, which could result in improved site preservation and management. In this paper, repeat photographs collected...
