We regret the long delay in making these papers available to a wider audience, but hope that the data and ideas in this volume will be a useful contribution to Ohio Hopewell archeology. Much of the research presented in this volume has benefitted from the support and encouragement of the staff at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. Superintendents John Neal and Dean Alexander provided much support and encouragement for the research and papers presented here. Park Archeologists Dr. Bret Ruby and Dr. Jennifer Pederson Weinberger helped coordinate and organize many of the projects in this volume, and any success we may have achieved is also due to the interest and assistance provided by Dr. Jarrod Burks and Dr. Kathy Brady. We also appreciate the cheerful assistance of Jon Casson,

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have recently been added to the growing list of modem techniques used to study these relics. The Minnesota Mummy Project was organized to examine four well preserved Egyptian mummies dating from the XVIlIth (1575-1308 B.C.) and XXVth (715-663 B.C.) Dynasties. Plain radiographs and CT scans were obtained on all specimens. One individual was selected for additional endoscopic and microscopic correlation with CT findings in the thoracic cavity. The collapsed heart was identified

Piezoresistive nano-composites make up a promising class of such materials that have the potential to provide a measurable response to strain over a much wider range than typical strain gages. Commercial strain gages are currently dominated by metallic sensors with a useable range of a few percent strain at most [1]. There are, however, many applications that would benefit from a reliable wide-range sensor. These might include the study of explosive behavior, instrumentation of flexible components, motion detection for compliant mechanisms and hinges, human-technology interfaces, and a wide variety of bio-mechanical applications where structural materials may often be approximated as elastomeric. In order to quantify large strains, researchers often use optical methods which are tedious and difficult. This thesis proposes a new material and technique for quantifying large strain (up to 40%) by use of piezoresistive nano-composite strain gages. The nano-composite strain gage material is manufactured by suspending nickel nano-strands within a biocompatible silicone matrix. Study and design iteration on the strain gage material requires an improved understanding of the electrical behavior and conduction path within the material when strained. A percolation model has been suggested for numerical approximations, but has only provided marginal results for lack of data. Critical missing information in the percolation model is the nano-strand cluster size, and how that size changes in response to strain. These data are gathered using a dynamic technique in the scanning electron microscope called voltage contrast. Cluster sizes were found to vary in size by approximately 6% upon being strained to 10%. A feasibility study is also conducted on the nano-composite to show its usability as a strain gage. High Displacement Strain Gages (HDSGs) were manufactured from the nanocomposite. HDSGs measured the strain of bovine ligament under prescribed loading conditions. Results demonstrate that HDSGs are an accurate means for measuring ligament strains across a broad spectrum of applied deformations.
