Decoupling climate and human impacts on the nitrogen cycle during the Irish Bronze Age

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disentangling climate variability and human activity in past nitrogen cycling is key to understanding ecosystems. Previous studies in Ireland observed a widespread, permanent shift in terrestrial nitrogen cycling during Later Prehistory, potentially linked to intensifying land‐use.

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Stature Estimation From Long Bone Lengths in Archaeological Skeletal Samples: Sensitivity of Regression Fit to Variation in the Correlation Coefficient

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stature estimation from long bone lengths yields varying accuracies due to differences in linear regression fit. We evaluated the impact of the correlation between stature and humeral, femoral, and tibial lengths on the performance of ordinary least squares (OLS), major axis (MA), and reduced major axis (RMA) fits.
