Marine historical ecology of groupers (Epinephelidae) in the eastern Mediterranean utilising zooarchaeology, dietary isotopes, collagen sequencing, and peptide mass fingerprinting

, 2023
Marine resources have been exploited in the eastern Mediterranean for millennia, forming an important dietary resource for many coastal settlements. Being highly organoleptic fishes, groupers represent one of the most ubiquitous ichthyofaunal finds since

Reuse remix recycle: repurposing archaeological digital data [PDF]

, 2018
Preservation of digital data is predicated on the expectation of its reuse, yet that expectation has never been examined within archaeology. While we have extensive digital archives equipped to share data, evidence of reuse seems paradoxically limited ...

Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Analysis Explores Diverse Domestic Goose Management Practices in Medieval and Postmedieval Russia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studying goose domestication through archaeological finds has been challenging due to the similar skeletal morphology of the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser). We analyzed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes from bone collagen of subfossil domestic and potentially domestic geese to ...

Expanding the Faunal Interpretation of the Cova Eirós (NW Iberia) Middle Paleolithic–Early Upper Paleolithic Record With ZooMS

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cova Eirós archaeopaleontological site preserves the most comprehensive archaeostratigraphic sequence in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula, with an exceptionally rich record spanning from the Mousterian to the Upper Paleolithic. The extensive fragmentation of the faunal record and the rich taxonomic diversity at this site have limited the
