Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Dating Death: Forensic taphonomy and the postmortem interval [PDF]
, 2010 Determining the postmortem interval (PMI) remains one of the most important but challenging factors to establish in a suspicious death investigation. Unfortunately, as time passes current methods lose accuracy and only allow investigators to approximate ...

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S3, Page S8-S30, June 2026.Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

Patterns in the modification of animal and human bones in Iron Age Wessex: revisiting the excarnation debate [PDF]
, 2008 Social practices concerning the treatment of human and animal remains in the Iron Age have long been a focus of debate in archaeological literature. The absence of evidence of a formal burial rite and the regular retrieval of human remains from ‘special’

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 914-944, June 2026.ABSTRACT Gas domes serve as some of the earliest and most persisting indicators of life on Earth, yet their documentation in continental environments remains sparse. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining gas domes within the Permian fluvial succession of Monte Luco, located in the caldera of the Bolzano Supervolcano. These structures occur as

, 2022 Despite Taphonomy has already 82 years, it was just in the 1970s that large mammal taphonomy started to be more extensively analysed. Small vertebrates were neglected for decades (despite the effort of some taxonomists such as C.

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Dinosaur eggs were recovered from the Dadaepo Basin in Busan (south‐east Korea), which is early Late Cretaceous in age and is close to Japan, but the eggs have not been studied. Among East Asian egg‐bearing basins, the Dadaepo Basin is characterized by exceptionally high thermal maturity (c.
