Bioarchaeology of the Human Microbiome [PDF]

Bioarchaeology International, 2017
From prehistory to the present, microbes have played a significant role in the development of human society and culture—from providing essential nutrients and protection through the microbiome, to shaping populations through infectious disease, to producing fermented foods such as cheese, bread, and beer.

Bones, Bodies, and Blogs: Outreach and Engagement in Bioarchaeology

Internet Archaeology, 2015
Surprisingly few bioarchaeology blogs currently exist, but their numbers belie their reach. In this article, we survey the ecology of the bioarchaeology blogosphere and address the impact of blogging in bioarchaeology, specifically addressing its utility

The ancient mitochondrial genome of Asiatic ibex (Capra sibirica) from Tangchaodun Ruins in Xinjiang, China, and its phylogenetic relationship [PDF]

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
The ancient mitochondrial genome of an Asiatic ibex (Capra sibirica) from Tangchaodun Ruins was obtained by high throughput sequencing. The observed damage pattern confirms the authenticity and reliability of the sequence. This mitogenome has a length of

The palaeoenvironmental potential of bioarchaeological isotope data [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment
Bioarchaeology not only provides insights into human, animal, and environmental ecology, but also generates huge amounts of stable and radiogenic isotope data that are not well recognised by other disciplines.

Imputation methods for mixed datasets in bioarchaeology. [PDF]

Archaeol Anthropol Sci
Missing data is a prevalent problem in bioarchaeological research and imputation could provide a promising solution. This work simulated missingness on a control dataset (481 samples × 41 variables) in order to explore imputation methods for mixed data ...

Missing data in bioarchaeology II: A test of ordinal and continuous data imputation

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2022
Objectives Previous research has shown that while missing data are common in bioarchaeological studies, they are seldom handled using statistically rigorous methods. The primary objective of this article is to evaluate the ability of imputation to manage

Missing data in bioarchaeology I: A review of the literature

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, 2022
Objectives Missing data are a frequent and unavoidable challenge in bioarchaeological research, yet researchers seldom make explicit statements about the bias and inferential limitations that missing data introduce into their studies.
