Portable ER-FTIR as a non-destructive method to pre-screen collagen for ZooMS analysis in archaeology
In the last decades, archaeology has witnessed a significant increase in the use of biomolecular analyses to study a variety of materials, including skeletal elements, as they are frequently preserved in archaeological deposits and directly linked to cultural and economic dynamics of ancient human populations. Radiocarbon dating, isotopic studies, and proteomic analyses are particularly useful to explore these questions, while their success is hi…
The medieval burial assemblage from Koudiet er Rammadiya, Northern Tunisia. An interdisciplinary bioarchaeological investigation
The osteological analysis of human skeletal assemblages offers crucial osteobiographical insights into ancient populations, yet remains largely unexplored in past Tunisia. This paper presents the first archaeological investigation of Tunisian medieval burials, unearthed during excavations between 2016–2017 and 2021–2022. This interdisciplinary study, combining archaeology, bioarchaeology, and paleopathology, examines skeletons from Koudiet er Ram…
Neolithic Lifeways at the Microlevel
Characterization of prehistoric lifeways tends to work at the level of generalization, but can we investigate microvariation? For example, it is common to discuss the “Neolithic diet”, but how much did what people ate vary, not only between individuals but from year to year or from place to place? Similarly, discussions of mobility tend to focus either on large‐scale population movements or on lifelong changes in residence, implying that people r…
Shelters and bones
This study investigates natural syn- and post-depositional processes affecting terrestrial mammal bones from the Takarkori rock shelter in the hyper-arid Tadrart Acacus massif, south-western Libya. The site’s Early to Middle Holocene stratigraphy (c. 10,200-4,600 cal BP) enables diachronic and synchronic assessment of taphonomic processes critical for interpreting faunal assemblages. As biomolecular methods, among others, are increasingly applied…
Diet in high mediaeval Florence through stable isotope analysis of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur
Dietary pattern of a mediaeval Florence population reconstructed through stable carbon, nitrogen and sulphur isotopes. • Diet was mainly composed of C 3 cereals and terrestrial animal products. • The input of animal products was high compared to other published mediaeval Italian sites. In this paper, we aim to reconstruct the dietary habits of supposedly lower rank nobles or middle-class High Middle Ages individuals recovered from the cloister ar…
