Virtual Reality for Outreach and Community‐Engagement in Paleogenomics: Development of a 360° Tour of an Ancient DNA Laboratory

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Virtual reality and digital visualization tools offer new opportunities for science education and community outreach by increasing the accessibility and transparency of controlled‐access laboratory spaces. Here, we present the creation of a 360° Tour of the Ancient DNA Laboratory at the University of Connecticut, created in collaboration with the ...

Best Practices for Scientific Collaboration and Ethical Considerations When Working With Human Remains in Southeast Asia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 894-902, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT The roles and responsibilities we occupy as scientists working directly with human remains are diverse, requiring careful ethical consideration. In Southeast Asian contexts, it has been important for us experts and scholars to be in constant correspondence and collaboration, deriving scientific insights into human health, life histories, and ...

Next‐Generation Paleopathology: Using Commercial AI in Bioarchaeological Diagnosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 844-858, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence encompasses computational systems capable of performing cognitive functions such as learning, reasoning, and problem‐solving. Within this domain, generative AI and large language models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot have shown significant potential in clinical diagnostics.

A Fully Bayesian Approach to Adult Skeletal Age Estimation: Multivariate Latent Trait Modeling With Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
Ordered probit regression is used as a latent trait model, with age at death estimated from a Gompertz distribution. Combined with Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling, this approach eliminates the need for reference priors for transition ages or population parameters.

Microstructural Evidence for Early Childhood Stress in a Community in Transition at Hisban, Jordan

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Identification of stress across infancy and childhood can reflect maternal and environmental influences on early life health. In the 19th century community of Hisban, many infants died before 2 years of age with evidence of metabolic disease, including rickets, that likely ties with maternal health.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

A Clinical Study of the Distribution and Morphology of Harris Lines

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 344-356, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Harris lines are commonly used in bioarcheology to infer lifestyle in ancient populations; however, their etiology and identification parameters are still under debate. The aim of this study is to observe the distribution of the lesions in a contemporary clinical sample to address their association with etiological factors, age, biological sex,

In Search of the Lost Brown Trout (Salmo trutta Complex) Using DNA of Ancient and Modern Samples From the Southern Italian Peninsula

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The current diversity and distribution of species and populations have been shaped by the major climatic oscillations during the Quaternary. The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a striking example of the strong effect of past climate changes on the evolutionary history of species, in fact, the alternation of glacial/interglacial cycles has led to

Long bone cross-sectional geometric properties of Later Stone Age foragers and herder–foragers

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Science, 2014
Diaphyseal cross-sectional geometry can be used to infer activity patterns in archaeological populations. We examined the cross-sectional geometric (CSG) properties of adult Later Stone Age (LSA) herder–forager long bones from the inland lower Orange ...
