Immigration patterns inferred from oxygen isotope analysis of human teeth from the Tylos-period Maqaba burial mounds in Bahrain
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the geographic origin of human remains in the Maqaba burial mounds cluster dating from the Tylos period (approximately 330 BC to AD 300) in Bahrain, using stable oxygen isotope analysis of dental enamel from teeth found in the mounds. During the Tylos period, Bahrain was an important hub for trade routes between the Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, and India. Therefore, immigrants who traveled as mer…
Dietary habits of Byzantine Kovuklukaya (Sinop, Türkiye)
Introduction During the medieval period, cultural attitudes toward leprosy often involved the exclusion of infected people from general society. People suffering from leprosy were often moved to live in separate places such as a specific district, village, or hospital. Such actions are social implications of how the disease and its sufferers were viewed and dealt with. This study aims to investigate whether Kovuklukaya was inhabited by segregated…
Halaf and Late Chalcolithic occupations at Shakar Tepe in the Shahrizor Plain, Iraqi Kurdistan
The Shahrizor Plain is one of the ideal fields for tracking the transition from Neolithic village life in the Fertile Crescent to Urbanisation which occurred in Mesopotamia because of its geographical location connecting the mountainside valleys along the Zagros and the downstream Diyala River that flows into the Tigris. Our field project aims to obtain archaeological materials to unveil this process. Following the first excavations at Shakar Tep…
Paleo-health of Neolithic wet-rice farmers in the Yangtze River Delta
Several cases that do not fit the agricultural adaptation model, in which people's health deteriorated with the shift from hunting-gathering to farming, have been reported, such as the introduction of rice agriculture during the Yayoi Period in Japan and the Iron Age in Southeast Asia, where health was maintained or improved. However, the health of rice farmers in the homeland areas has rarely been reported. This study aims to clarify the frequen…
Interplay of dietary diversity and mobility of the Late Neolithic people in the Central Plains of China
The origins of agriculture in East Asia can be distinguished between rice agriculture in southern China and millet agriculture (foxtail and broomcorn millet) in the north. In the Longshan period (c. 4300–3800 cal BP), with the northward expansion of rice farming, a mixed rice–millet agricultural area was established in the Central Plains of China, which was also in the core area of the establishment of the early state. The interaction between the…
Reconstruction of diets based on the Δ 15 N values of individual amino acids at three sites in Sichuan, China
This study analyzes the nitrogen isotope composition of individual amino acids in collagen extracted from human bone samples from the Gaoshan, Yingpanshan, and Xinyicun sites in Sichuan, where the isotope baseline is unavailable or incomparable with the isotopic data derived from human remains. It aims to understand the food compositions of the inhabitants at these sites, spanning the period from the late Neolithic to the middle Bronze Age, durin…
The impact of the transition from broad-spectrum hunting to sheep herding on human meat consumption
At Aşıklı Höyük, one of the earliest Pre-pottery Neolithic mound sites in Central Anatolia, a shift in animal utilization from broad-spectrum exploitation of diverse animal species to a concentration on managed caprines has been observed. Changes in the balance of meat to plant foods over the same time frame remain an open question. In this study, carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses of bulk collagen and compound-specific nitrogen isotopic analy…
Dietary diversity of Bronze-Iron Age populations of Kazakhstan quantitatively estimated through the compound-specific nitrogen analysis of amino acids
A paleopathological approach to early human adaptation for wet-rice agriculture
A multi-faceted approach to weaning practices in a prehistoric population from İkiztepe, Samsun, Turkey
Amino acid 15 N analysis reveals change in the importance of freshwater resources between the hunter‐gatherer and farmer in the Neolithic upper Tigris
OBJECTIVE: The inhabitants of several sites in the Upper Tigris Valley, such as Hakemi Use, domesticated animals and cereals during the Pottery Neolithic period, while the inhabitants in this valley were hunter-gatherers in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period, consuming freshwater and terrestrial food resources. However, there is considerable uncertainty surrounding whether or not changes in dietary food composition accompanied the shift in food pro…
