This study combines the research in group decision-making using the functional theory and the bona fide group perspective along with the large body of research on Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS). The purpose is to assist organizations in both making decisions and understanding the processes used and individuals involved in those decisions. This longitudinal study of one university’s collaboration process presents their multiple planning efforts in accreditation and creating civility. Two participant-observers discuss several bona fide decision making groups across a five-year period along with the application of a GDSS that uses Saaty’s Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to assist in that decision-making. The usefulness of GDSS is discussed and its future applica...

The students determined the lead content of ancient bronze coins by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) and then compared their lead data to literature values for lead in visually identified coins (1) to approximate the mint date and mint location. (See .) This type of data matching by metal content in coins is possible because ancient mints each had unique procedures for making bronze and regional ore sources, thus leading to predictable differences in the major and minor metals in coins.
