Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent claims proposing a Syracusan provenance for the Riace Bronzes rely on selective petrographic, geochemical, and taphonomic evidence that raises crucial methodological questions. This paper critically reassesses the analytical premises and inferential logic underlying these claims, showing that they bypass established protocols in ceramic

Boreas, EarlyView.The postglacial evolution of High Arctic coastal environments is recorded in the rich fossiliferous archives of raised marine terraces. This study employs a multi‐proxy approach combining molluscan community analysis, taphonomy and sedimentology to reconstruct the Early to Mid‐Holocene environmental dynamics of the Mimerdalen embayment in the ...
