Alkylresorcinol detection and identification in archaeological pottery using ultra‐high‐performance liquid chromatography‐quadrupole/Orbitrap mass spectrometry

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 38, Issue 15, 15 August 2024.
Rationale Alkylresorcinols (AR) are cereal‐specific biomarkers and have recently been found in archaeological pots. However, their low concentrations and high susceptibility to degradation make them difficult to detect using conventional gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

A new laboratory‐based method to experimentally induce diagenetic modifications in human bone tissue using archaeological gravesoils

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 34, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract The conditions of the burial environment trigger microstructural modifications and physical‐chemical changes in the bone, such as chemical dissolution, increase of crystallinity, chemical exchanges, collagen degradation and changes in porosity, hence to reproduce these patterns is a challenging task.

Andean Lima Bean Ecology and Its Potential Contribution to Food Security

Legume Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2024.
ABSTRACT The Andean lima bean (ALB) (Phaseolus lunatus L.), also known as “Pallar” in Peru, is a large, semi‐flat, kidney‐shaped rarely investigated legume. This ancestral legume lacks in‐depth scientific reports and is mainly cultivated in the coastal region of the Ica valley. Its consumption dates back to ancient times, as evidenced by archaeological

Distribution pattern of large old Ginkgo biloba in China under climate change scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
The study investigates the distribution of large old Ginkgo biloba trees (LOGTs) in China and their vulnerability to climate change and human activities. Using species distribution models, the study predicts the spatial patterns of LOGTs under present and future climate scenarios.
