87Sr/86Sr in Archeological and Paleobiological Research: A Perspective

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The stable isotope ratio 87Sr/86Sr has been shown to have extraordinary potential for documenting the movement and life-histories of humans and other animals, both in history and prehistory.

Sharpening the mesowear tool: geometric morphometric analysis of cusp shape and diet in ruminants

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Mesowear is a dietary proxy that relates attritive wear and abrasive wear to the shape of worn tooth cusps of ungulates. Traditional mesowear methods categorize cusps according to relief and sharpness.

Late Holocene Paleodietary Patterns Among the Ancestral Ohlone: Ecogeographic Partitioning of Resources Along the San Francisco Bay Eastern Shore. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives In the San Francisco Bay Area, Late Holocene resource intensification models predict an increase in diet breadth and a reduction in foraging efficiency associated with an increase in population, sedentism, and territoriality among fisher‐hunter‐gatherer populations.

North and South: Exploring isotopic analysis of bone carbonates and collagen to understand post‐medieval diets in London and northern England

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 182, Issue 1, Page 126-142, September 2023., 2023
Cane sugar consumption in post‐medieval individuals. Abstract Objectives We evaluate the potential of paired isotopic analysis of bone carbonate and collagen to examine the diet of post‐medieval human and animal populations from England (17th–19th c.), including, for the first time, manufacturing towns in northern England. The potential for identifying

Multiproxy approach to reconstruct fossil primate feeding behavior: Case study for macaque from the Plio-Pleistocene site Guefaït-4.2 (eastern Morocco)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The genus Macaca belongs to Cercopithecidae (Old World monkeys), Cercopithecinae, Papionini. The presence of Macaca in North Africa is well known from the Late Miocene to the Late Pleistocene.

Ancient bears provide insights into Pleistocene ice age refugia in Southeast Alaska

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3641-3656, July 2023., 2023
Abstract During the Late Pleistocene, major parts of North America were periodically covered by ice sheets. However, there are still questions about whether ice‐free refugia were present in the Alexander Archipelago along the Southeast (SE) Alaska coast during the last glacial maximum (LGM).

Reconstructing the Paleo‐Ecological Diet of Snow Petrels (Pagodroma nivea) From Modern Samples and Fossil Deposits: Implications for Southern Ocean Paleoenvironmental Reconstructions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 128, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Snow petrels (Pagodroma nivea), which are endemic to the Antarctic region, produce proventricular stomach oil from ingested food for feeding purposes but also spit the oil in the immediate surrounds of the nests, where it forms encrustations over time (Antarctic mumiyo).

Carbon-isotope composition of artiodactyl tooth enamel and its implications for paleodiets

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The stable carbon-isotope composition of mammalian tooth enamel is a powerful tool for reconstructing paleodiet and paleoenvironment. Its application in the fossil record relies on a thorough understanding of the isotopic composition of mammalian diets ...

The role of status, diets, and mobility in understanding the impacts of urbanization in early medieval Bergen, Norway (St. Mary's Church): Insights from stable isotope analyses

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 315-329, March/April 2023., 2023
Abstract This research examines the diets and mobility of higher status individuals buried in the St. Mary's (Mariakirken) churchyard (1140 and 1248 AD), located in Bergen, Norway. Stable isotope data are used to explore the role that diets (preferential access, choice of foods) may have played in mitigating the negative impacts of rapid urbanization ...
