Containing Histories Past and Present: Making Samples in the “Huntington Collection” (1893–1921)

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Huntington Anatomical Collection (1893–1921) includes the skeletal remains of immigrants, migrants, and lifelong New York City residents. The collection's formation was coeval with the formalization of physical anthropology, and the collection was made to serve research aims centered on race and origin.

New perspectives in the study of ancient Egyptian bioarchaeology [PDF]

, 2020
This paper presents a summary of the current ‘state of the art’ in bioarchaeology in Ancient Egypt. Bioarchaeology has, in the past, been seen as a handmaiden to historical archaeology (including Egyptology), but current bioarchaeological research places

The ancient mitochondrial genome of a Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) from Jartai Pass Site in Xinjiang, China, and its phylogenetic relationships

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
The ancient mitochondrial genome of a Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) coded as NJ26S from Jartai Pass Site was obtained by high throughput sequencing. The damage pattern demonstrated the authenticity and reliability of the ancient DNA data.

The effect of living conditions on the stature of men and women: the case of south-eastern France (18th, 19th and 20th centuries)

Bulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2023
In this paper we analyse the impact of different living conditions on the length of the femur, as a proxy for stature, of three Mediterranean samples with known historical contexts, and assess sex differentials in femur length changes.

Provenance Analysis Based on Cluster In‐Betweenness and Support Vector Machines: Identifying Migrant Candidates Using Multi‐Isotope Fingerprints

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Provenance reconstruction using strontium and lead stable isotopes can produce complex multidimensional fingerprints, challenging traditional methods. Identifying nonlocals, who migrated between sites, is a major task. Migrants are identifiable by divergent multi‐isotope fingerprints due to isotopic mixing between origin and destination sites.

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

American 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.

Child Burials in Vessels at the Middle Bronze Age Necropolis in Ostojićevo (1650–1550 BC)

Etnoantropološki Problemi
Burying children in vessels is a funerary practice as old as the art of pottery making. It was present in the Levant and European territories from the Neolithic to the Iron Age, with no continuity or clear geographical frameworks, leaving the question ...

Managing raw materials in Vinča culture: a case study of osseous raw materials from Vitkovo

Documenta Praehistorica, 2013
In analyses of material recovered from archaeological sites, a dichotomy often exists between ‘specialist’ and ‘archaeological’ studies. This is especially noticeable in the case of faunal remains and bone artefacts. Bone artefacts are sometimes treated

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

American 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

Biological 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.
