  • A chert sourcing study using Visible/Near Infrared reflectance spectroscopy at the Dover Quarry sites, Tennessee
    PROJECT Uploaded by: Ryan Parish

    The study examines the potential application of VNIR reflectance spectroscopy to the sourcing of chert. As a case study the Dover Quarry sites of Stewart County, TN are surveyed in detail and sampled. Twenty samples from each of the sites are incorporated into a chert database with seven additional locations representing the major chert types of the immediate area. A chert type collection from distant geographic areas is also included to act as a control. A number of internal accuracy tests...
