The Use of Micro‐CT Analysis of the Second Metacarpal to Assess Cortical Bone Loss in Archeological Human Skeletal Remains

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The assessment of cortical bone loss in archeological populations can give insights into past lifeways and bone health. The second metacarpal index (MCI) is assessed via radiogrammetry to quantify cortical thickness. However, as this method is limited to a single‐point measurement, this study explores the use of micro‐computed ...

Semidiaphanam Tremuli Narcissuli Ideam Lacteam1: Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus (1651–1708) and His Determined Search for the Porcelain Principle

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 1, Page 120-131, February 2026.
ABSTRACT With this contribution, an attempt is being made to chart the timeline of the invention of the European hard‐paste porcelain based on historical documents. They were evaluated to trace the development lines from Tschirnhaus's early experiments with burning mirrors and lenses in the 1680s to finding ‘wax porcelain’ around 1694 to the ...

Riding the monsoon: Geography and Iron Age trade in the Indian Ocean

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 312-341, February 2026.
Abstract This paper exploits ancient textual sources to develop a database of ancient trade in the Indian Ocean and model trade in the region during the Iron Age. Wind‐speed data are used to construct a gravity model of trade and are combined with detailed textual data from the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea to analyse historical development trends in ...

Soil‐Borne Pathogens Reflect Agricultural Land‐Use Legacies

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Legacy effects profoundly shape the distribution and diversity of terrestrial communities, but are difficult to grasp over longer timescales. Here, we use historical land‐use maps to study lingering legacies of historical land use on present‐day microbial communities.
