    O planejamento de mina subterrânea constitui elemento importante para se alcançar a realização de empreendimentos no cenário atual altamente competitivo. Esse planejamento se torna essencial em função das particularidades das minas subterrâneas, da dificuldade de se conhecer o corpo em profundidade e da locação das escavações subterrâneas. Aplicativos de computador permitem visualização espacial do corpo minerali¬zado, das seções geológicas e formação dos contornos do minério em 3D. Assim, tais aplicativos facilitam alocação dos principais serviços de desenvolvimento de minas. Hoje as mineradoras já dispõem de tais recursos, mas as metodologias para o desen¬volvimento das minas subterrâneas ainda são incipientes. Os aplicativos mais desenvolvidos são direcionados para as minas a céu aberto e não para as minas subterrâneas. Com a utilização de aplicativos de desenvolvimento de mina e com o planejamento de lavra e com a observação das similaridades com minas existentes, foi possível: 1) Elaborar um projeto de infra-estrutura de uma mina subterrânea específica, com visualização em 3D das aberturas; 2) Fazer o dimensionamento das aberturas; 3) Desenvolver uma metodologia para um desenho das referidas aberturas. Esse artigo trata da seleção do método de lavra a partir das características de uma jazida simulada e descreve as aberturas principais de desenvolvimento de mina subterrânea construídas com um aplicativo comercial de mineração.Underground mine planning is an important element for achieving project re¬alization in the current highly competitive scenario. This is due to the peculiarities of the underground mines, where it is difficult to obtain profound knowledge about the body and location of the underground excavations. Computer applicationsspatially visualize the ore body with its geological sec¬tions and mineral formation contours. This visual is in 3D that facilitates the alloca¬tion of major mine development services. Although such resources are available, their mining applications are generally developed for open pit mining methods, and is still incipient for underground mine-development methodologies. With the use of applications for mine development and planning, and the simi¬larity of existing mines, it was possible to prepare the infrastructure project for a specific underground mine, and a 3D view of its underground openings. It was also possible to develop a methodology for drawing the galleries described. This paper deals with the selection of mining methods for a major simulated mineral deposit and describes breakthroughs of underground mine development de¬sign using a commercial mining application

    Characterisation of microbial attack on archaeological bone

    As part of an EU funded project to investigate the factors influencing bone preservation in the archaeological record, more than 250 bones from 41 archaeological sites in five countries spanning four climatic regions were studied for diagenetic alteration. Sites were selected to cover a range of environmental conditions and archaeological contexts. Microscopic and physical (mercury intrusion porosimetry) analyses of these bones revealed that the majority (68%) had suffered microbial attack. Furthermore, significant differences were found between animal and human bone in both the state of preservation and the type of microbial attack present. These differences in preservation might result from differences in early taphonomy of the bones. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
