Deer Antler δ18O Records Desalination in Israel's Water Supply

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 19, 15 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Stable oxygen isotope ratios (δ¹⁸O) in mammalian tissues are widely used to reconstruct past climates, seasonal patterns, and animal origins. These analyses assume that animals drink local rainwater—an assumption now challenged by large‐scale anthropogenic water management.

Reaffirming the Consistency of the Original Stock of NBS 19 Limestone and Its Byproduct With Finer Grain Size for δ13C and δ18O Calibrations—Both Distributed Internationally

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 18, 30 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Approximately 3–4 kg of NBS 19 limestone, prepared in 1982 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), serves as a primary reference for the carbon isotope scales VPDB and VPDB‐LSVEC and the oxygen isotope scale VPDB. Its consensus values are +1.95‰ for δ13C and −2.2‰ for δ18O measurements.

Comparing the Accuracy of Osteological Sex Estimation Against Genetic Sex Obtained From Human Dental Calculus in 12th–19th C. British Individuals Accuratezza della stima osteologica del sesso confrontata con la determinazione del sesso genetico ottenuta dal tartaro dentale in individui britannici tra XII e XIX secolo

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives For anthropologists and forensic scientists, sex estimation using skeletally dimorphic traits is fundamental in biological profile reconstruction. Archaeogenetic research on past populations allows us to identify genetic sex generating opportunities to validate the accuracy of commonly used skeletal traits.
