Millennia-Long Co-Existence of Two Major European Whitefish (Coregonus spp.) Lineages in Switzerland Inferred from Ancient Mitochondrial DNA

Diversity, 2017
Archaeological fish remains are an important source for reconstructing past aquatic ecosystems and ancient fishing strategies using aDNA techniques. Here, we focus on archaeological samples of European whitefish (Coregonus spp.) from Switzerland covering

A GIS‐Based Approach to Modeling Carnivore Activity in the Pleistocene Site of Cova del Rinoceront (Iberian Peninsula)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A significant methodological difficulty in the interpretation of Pleistocene zooarchaeological assemblages is the identification of taphonomic agents that modify and break bones. Carnivores, in particular, have been a main focus, as competition with carnivores may have affected carcass acquisition opportunities for humans in the past.

Swimming Upriver? Exploring the Sources of Freshwater and Marine Fish in Military Diet in Sixteenth‐ to Nineteenth‐Century Northeastern North America

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atlantic cod were caught in large numbers and shipped from fishing stations in North America to Europe and the Caribbean, and this has been frequently studied zooarchaeologically; however, the exchange of cod and other fish into interior North America has received less study.

Diet and Oral Health of Scythian Populations in Ukraine (700–200 bce): Evidence for Grain Consumption and Food Processing

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examined whether Scythian‐era populations living in different ecological zones had distinctive oral health patterns during the Iron Age. Our interdisciplinary approach should clarify whether these populations had different diets or behavioral practices.

A Modern Metrical Baseline for Sexing Sheep Horn‐Cores

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sex determination is essential for reconstructing past livestock management, yet the limited skeletal sexual dimorphism of sheep hinders the identification of ewes, rams, and wethers in archaeological assemblages. Horn‐cores are the most sexually dimorphic element of the sheep skeleton, and here, we establish a new metrical baseline for ...

Unveiling Saint Theobald: A Multidisciplinary Bioanthropological Investigation

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Saint Theobald of Provins (1033–1066), a French nobleman who embraced voluntary poverty, hermitism, and pilgrimage, represents an early figure in the medieval ascetic movement. He holds historical significance for the diffusion of 11th‐century ascetic ideals, as a hermit saint associated with the Camaldolese order and venerated across northern

Warfare, Labor, and Urban Stress: Divergent Health Trajectories in Mongol‐Period Karakorum

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines major palaeopathological trends in Mongol‐period Karakorum and incorporates them into the existing body of research in order to deepen our understanding of health and survival, the impacts of conflict and violence on past populations, and the lived experiences of the city's diverse inhabitants within the broader socio ...

Asymmetrical Steps: Osteomorphological and Metric Patterns of Cattle Phalanges to Determine Anatomical Position

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a reproducible framework for identifying the anatomical position of cattle phalanges, integrating both morphological and osteometric approaches for application to modern and zooarchaeological assemblages. The dataset comprises 1853 phalanges from 106 individuals with known and unknown phalangeal position representing ...

First Detailed Examination of Macaca (Primates, Cercopithecidae) Remains From Roman Anatolia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primates are rare faunal components in zooarchaeological studies worldwide. In this study, we present the presence of a primate in a Roman‐period tomb in Attaleia (modern‐day Antalya). An almost complete cranium with maxillary teeth was examined, and dental measurements were taken.
