Analyse préliminaire et discussion sur la nature d’un dépôt dentaire très particulier

open access: yesBulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2005
An unusual dental deposit characterizes a skeleton from the excavation of the medieval graveyard at Clarensac (Gard, France). Its large size led us to investigate its origin, but the results of macroscopic examination alone are inconclusive.

Histology and fossil diagenesis of a pterosaur tooth from the Crato Formation (Lower Cretaceous of Brazil)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2739-2751, October 2026.
Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

Contribution à la connaissance des modes de dislocation et de destruction du squelette pendant la crémation : l’apport du bûcher funéraire en fosse du Néolithique final à Reichstett-Mundolsheim (Bas-Rhin)

open access: yesBulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2005
An archaeological excavation carried out on the site of Reichstett-Mundolsheim, near Strasbourg, produced a circular pit dated to the beginning of the Late Neolithic period which contained a simultaneous primary cremation of eleven individuals. The large

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2636-2655, October 2026.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 2268-2285, September 2026.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

Containing Histories Past and Present: Making Samples in the “Huntington Collection” (1893–1921)

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 456-468, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The Huntington Anatomical Collection (1893–1921) includes the skeletal remains of immigrants, migrants, and lifelong New York City residents. The collection's formation was coeval with the formalization of physical anthropology, and the collection was made to serve research aims centered on race and origin.

Dolomitic Microfossil Preservation in a Cryogenian Microbial Reef, Arkaroola (South Australia)

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial dolostones that now form the Arkaroola reef, northern Adelaide Rift Complex, and were deposited during the Cryogenian interglacial period, display a wide range of meso‐scale stromatolite morphotypes in outcrop. Microcharacterisation involving optical microscopy, combined scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy

Biosignature Preservation in Stromatolites From the Carri Laufquen Lakes System, Patagonia: Implications for Martian Palaeolacustrine Environments

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Carri Laufquen Lakes System is a highly alkaline, basalt‐hosted lacustrine environment in northern Patagonia, Argentina. Diverse morphologies of Late Pleistocene sub‐fossil stromatolites occur along the lakeshores. Using detailed optical and electron microscopy, spectroscopy and organic geochemical analyses, this study shows that ...

Sedimentary Ancient DNA Tracks Multi‐Kingdom Ecosystem Reorganizations Following Sequential Human Land Use at Crawford Lake

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 17, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Crawford Lake has an exceptional stratigraphic record that began recording biannual (varved) sedimentation in the lake basin ~750 years ago, preserving evidence of shifting cultural zones and agricultural practices, from Late Woodland Period Indigenous agriculturalists to the impacts of industrialization during the late 19th century.
