Hebrew U. Nuclear Physicists to Identify Archeological Finds
JERUSALEM — Nuclear
physics techniques in the new
science of archeometry soon
will be applied at the He-
brew University to improve
the identification of archeo-
logical finds.
Prof. Isadore Perlman, a
recent immigrant from the
University of California,
Berkeley, has developed a
nuclear scanning technique
which enables him to work
with archeologists to deter-
mine the origin of a piece
of pottery no matter where
it is found.
Prof. Perlman is accom-

Joseph Yellin, 35, from the
same laboratory in Berkeley.
The two scientists are in the
process of equipping new
laboratories in Jerusalem.
The nuclear technique uses
electronic devices designed
for studying nuclear struc-
ture in order to make a
chemical "fingerprint" of a
piece of pottery.
Small pottery samples are
taken for irradiation in the
Nahal Soreq reactor where
the various chemical ele-
ments are made radio-active.
The emitted gamma rays are

Sam Brown's
Fine Project
By RABBI SAMUEL SILVER
(A Seven Arts Feature)
Few people are sweeter
than Sam Brown.
Of course, you know a
number of people by that
name.
The Sam Brown I'm refer-
ring to was once the execu-
tive for the American Jewish
Congress in New Jersey, and
prior to that director of
AJCongress activities in De-
troit.
Inspired by the late, great
Stephen Wise, Mr. Brown has
remained attached to Ameri-
can Jewry.
In the last few years,
Brown has acquired a most
fascinating avocation.
He leads group through
New York and serves as a
guide to sites of Jewish in-
terest.
Women's groups, young
people, members of all or-
ganizations are intrigued by
the tours which this living
Baedeker conducts.
Now, Brown has let a
worry activate him into an-
other endeavor.
The worry is that all those
picturesque Jewish areas in
downtown New York are
fading away.
He feels that these areas,
which were the matrix of so
much of Jewish life, ought
to be preserved.
He pleads for some meas-
ures to rehabilitate some of
these sites, where thousands
of Jews once lived.
So Brown is asking for
funds from people who are
interested in his project.
Harry Golden, who did so
much to publicize the East
Side, has joined Brown's
campaign. "I heartily en-
dorse your project," he ex-
claimed.
Brown can be reached at
281 Avenue C., New York.
Rabbi Goren Visits
Emigres in Carmiel
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren
paid a visit to Carmiel in the
upper Galilee which is in-
habited by many new immi-
grants from Russia, same of
whom are of mixed mar-
riages, and said that every
effort would be made to
hasten the procedure of con-
version to Judaism.
For that purpose, he said,
special ulpanim for studying
Judaism will be set up at
Carmiel so that there would
be no need to go to the larg-
er cities for that. .
He called on all mixed
families to undergo the ne-
cessary procedure for con-
version and circumcision.
the
puter can calculate
chemical composition.
Once a shard has been
"fingerprinted," the task of
identifying its origin begins.
Prof. Perlman explains this
process and its significance.
"A lthough archeologists
draw their inferences on
ancient history from all pos-
sible clues, pottery still
up the largest single source
of information. Pottery styles
are distinctive with respect
to different cultures and
times periods and from such
typological examinations they
draw conclusions as to
which ancient peoples were
in contact with each other."
Prof. Yigael Yadin, head
of the Hebrew University's
Institute of Archeology, was
a prime mover in bringing
Prof. Perlman and his tech-
niques to Jerusalem.
Prof. Perlman came to the
Hebrew University in April
under an Israel government
grant which is intended to
make relocation in Israel
easier for senior scientists
engaged in research else-
where. Before coming to Is-
rael he was on the faculty
of the University of Cali-
fornia and served as an as-
sociate director of the Law-
rence Radiation Laboratory
on the Berkeley campus.
Prof. Yellin also arrived in
Israel a few months ago
from the Lawrence Radia-
tion Laboratory. He has been
appointed associate professor
in physics and archeology.
