Influence of Climate on Stable Nitrogen Isotopic Values of Contemporary Greek Samples: Implications for Isotopic Studies of Human Remains from Neolithic to Late Bronze Age Greece

Geosciences, 2019
In this paper, we study δ15N enrichment as an indicator not only of marine protein diet, but also of climate change. The slope of the variation of δ15N with precipitation was calculated equal to 0.38/100 mm of precipitation for Greek plants, 0 ...

Reconstruction and dynamics of food structure of the Odino people in the Baraba forest-steppe area during the 3rd millennium BC: according to archaeological and isotopic data

Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2016
The paper aims at reconstructing the paleodiet of the Early Bronze Age population in the Baraba forest-steppe area of Western Siberia (the Odino culture).

Ethnochemistry in the Dogon country (Mali, 11th-18th century)

Afrique Archéologie Arts, 2015
Les méthodes analytiques de la biogéochimie s’appliquent depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années aux études archéologiques. L’une des questions majeures posées par cette approche reste la conservation des signaux biogéochimiques pendant la phase taphonomique.

Dietary Changes across the Neolithic Levels of the Tepecik-Çiftlik

Gaziantep Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, 2017
As an important mineral source for the entire organism, bone serves as a useful bioarchive for monitoring past human lifeways like diet, since the concentration of the elements in its structure is influenced by the individual diet.

Multi‐method (FTIR, XRD, PXRF) analysis of Ertebølle pottery ceramics from Scania, southern Sweden

Archaeometry, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 677-693, August 2020., 2020
A combination of Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and portable X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy (PXRF) was used on the clay fraction of Ertebølle ceramics from several Late Mesolithic sites in Scania, southern Sweden.

Complexities of Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Biogeochemistry in Ancient Freshwater Ecosystems: Implications for the Study of Past Subsistence and Environmental Change

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of human and animal tissues have become an important means of studying both anthropogenic and natural food webs in aquatic ecosystems.

Freshwater wetland–driven variation in sulfur isotope compositions: Implications for human paleodiet and ecological research

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Sulfur isotope (δ34S) analyses are an important archaeological and ecological tool for understanding human and animal migration and diet, but δ34S can be difficult to interpret, particularly in archaeological human-mobility studies, when measured isotope

The Role of Grass vs. Exogenous Abrasives in the Paleodietary Patterns of North American Ungulates

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Equids have often been discussed regarding tooth morphological change due to the evolution of highly hypsodont teeth over time, the hyper-grazing habits of modern horses, and an older view that the acquisition of hypsodonty and the widespread appearance ...

High‐resolution compound‐specific δ15N isotope dietary study of humans from the Scottish Mesolithic and Neolithic

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 5, Page 1309-1326, October 2025.
Abstract Numerous isotopic studies of Scottish Mesolithic and Neolithic diets suggest a shift from marine‐based to terrestrial‐based subsistence strategies. However, bulk collagen isotope analysis may overlook low‐level marine food consumption. This study combines bulk collagen stable isotope data from four Neolithic sites (Quanterness, Rattar East ...

Paget's disease of bone in two medieval skeletons from Poulton Chapel, Cheshire, UK

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 29, Issue 6, Page 922-933, November/December 2019., 2019
Abstract Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a chronic, metabolic disease disrupting normal bone turnover and is reported as one of the most common bone diseases after osteoporosis. PDB is characterised by excessive bone remodelling resulting in bone enlargement, fragility, deformity and additional complications.
