METHOD FOR THE GENERATING FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE DATA AND THE APPLICATION OF THESE DATA TOWARD INTERPRETING GLASS DENSITY IN RELATION TO ITS VALUE AS EVIDENCE.
Abstract
A TWO-STEP APPROACH WAS USED. THE FIRST STEP INVOLVED CLASSIFYING EACH OF THE GLASSES SELECTED FOR STUDY INTO A WELL DEFINED DENSITY RANGE WITHIN A SERIES OF INCREMENTALLY INCREASING DENSITY RANGES. THE SECOND STEP INVOLVED THE FURTHER DIFFERENTIATION OF GLASSES FALLING WITHIN EACH RANGE IN THE SERIES OF RANGES BY FLOTATION IN A THERMALLY GENERATED DENSITY GRADIENT. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
