Bone Mineral Density of Willow Ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) as a Potential Taphonomic Factor in Skeletal Part Attrition

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 284-294, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Agents of taphonomy can bias skeletal parts and the frequency of bones in archaeological sites. An important factor to consider is the possible effect of bone density‐mediated attrition on archaeornithological assemblages. We scanned willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) specimens using a Lunar iDXA and an enCcore small animal body add‐on to ...

Animal Husbandry, Cultural Change, and Economic Networks: An Archaeozoological Perspective on the Transformation of Iron Age Oppida Societies

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT In the 2nd century bce, with the Iron Age Oppida Civilisation, Central Europe experienced an unprecedented degree of urbanization, economic centralization, and supra‐regional exchange. However, from 80 bce onwards, in the Northern Alpine Foreland (present‐day southern Germany), these structures declined, leading to the abandonment of both ...

Non‐Ingested Scapulae and Mandibles Accumulated in Nests by Bearded Vultures (Gypaetus barbatus) in Corsica: A Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
ABSTRACT The bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) is a scavenger and bone‐eating vulture that also transports bones to the nest to feed the nestlings. Bones found at nests are characterized by the accumulation of small‐ to medium‐sized ungulates, a high number of third and second phalanges and digestive corrosion marks on regurgitated bones.

Feral ecologies of the human deep past: multispecies archaeology and palaeo‐synanthropy

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 30, Issue 4, Page 1062-1084, December 2024.
Abstract This article articulates recent advances in palaeo‐ecology with the goals and ambitions of multispecies archaeology. It centres the synanthropic nexus as a key context for the study of early human‐animal relationships and argues that its evolution yields important yet currently overlooked dynamics shaping the structure of the archaeological ...

Transformation processes in the osteoarchaeological record between the Iron Age and the Roman times with reference to the civitas Treverorum

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 34, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract This paper discusses transformations in human behavior between the Iron Age and the Roman times in the tribal territory of the Treveri, later civitas Treverorum, located between the Rhine and the Ardennes. This aspect has been examined from two perspectives: first, from an anthropological point of view vis‐a‐vis the historical inhabitants, and

tidysdm: Leveraging the flexibility of tidymodels for species distribution modelling in R

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1789-1795, October 2024.
Abstract In species distribution modelling (SDM), it is common practice to explore multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms and combine their results into ensembles. In R, many implementations of different ML algorithms are available but, as they were mostly developed independently, they often use inconsistent syntax and data structures.
