In analyzing the fibers at a microscopic level, the general fiber classes were identified (hair or bast). Furthermore, adherence of particles to the fibers, be they mineral colorant or soil was determined and when possible identified with the help of the particle atlas (38). The previously created control mounts were used as comparative materials to the unknown mineral or pigment deposits that were observed in foe artifact samples.

Removal of fibers has the disadvantage that the count of fibers is difficult to relate to a known area and therfore to the concentration of fibers in air. However, it is possible to mark the position of fibers on the membrane and remove selected fibers for further analysis. This particle picking technique is described in "The Particle Atlas" (32). 

Identification of asbestos by microscopical dispersion staining has been described by Julian (34) and the technique is described in "The Particle Atlas" (35JT... 

The sTope of the dispersion staining curve is characteristic for each mineral. Dispersion staining curves of various minerals have been plotted in the Particle Atlas (43) and dispersion data are given by Winchell (44). 

Polarized light microscopy has long been used in chemical and mlneraloglcal studies, and was raised to a high level of applicability by Walter McCrone and associates, culminating in the extensive Particle Atlas(6), which included Innumerable glasses, organics and polymers.
