From Model to Practice: Testing Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy as a Bone Collagen Prescreening Tool
ABSTRACT Collagen is a vital archaeological material, preserving biochemical signatures that provide insights into past environments, diets, and human–animal interactions. However, diagenetic processes can lead to rapid and often inconspicuous degradation of collagen. Given the variability in collagen preservation and its significance for analyses such
