Improving elasmobranch baselines in the California Channel Islands through ZooMS and stable isotope analyses
Sharks are among the world's most endangered vertebrates, having declined by over 70% in abundance over the past 50 years—a collapse driven primarily by modern fishing. However, the extent of this impact is difficult to assess without improved records of past species distributions. Zooarchaeological records offer valuable baselines for shark diversity, distribution, and exploitation and provide essential historical context for assessing contempor…

A thousand years of Nubian supply of sub-Saharan ivory to the Southern Levant, ca. 1600–600 BCE
Finely crafted ivory objects were highly valued prestige commodities in the Levant and more generally throughout the ancient Near East, wielded as symbols of authority, rulership, and participation in trans-regional trade networks. Our research aims to trace the networks and agents involved in the trade of ivory to the Southern Levant over a period of a thousand years (1600 BCE–600 BCE) by identifying its biological and geographical sources. This…
ZooMS as a tool for understanding prehistoric pelagic fishing
Sequential multi-isotope sampling through a Bos taurus tooth from Stonehenge, to assess comparative sources and incorporation times of strontium and lead
AutoZooMS
As the vast majority of excavated palaeontological skeletal remains are fragmentary to the extent that they cannot be identified by morphological analysis alone, various molecular methods have been considered to retrieve information from an otherwise underutilised resource. The introduction of collagen fingerprinting, known as Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS), has become one of the most popular approaches to improve taxonomic data yiel…
Proteomic sexing of archaeological cattle remains at Neolithic Kilshane
Although proteomic techniques have been increasingly used to improve our understanding of the human past, few have focussed on the study of tooth enamel for sexing in archaeofaunal remains, despite initial studies over a decade ago investigating human teeth. Here we explore the use of LC-orbitrap-MS/MS for identifying the sex of archaeological domestic cattle remains from the Neolithic enclosure at Kilshane, Ireland (c. 3600 cal. BC), in addition…

Ivory from early Anglo-Saxon burials in Lincolnshire – A biomolecular study
Ivory bag rings have been found in more than 70 cemeteries across southern, central, and eastern England dating to between the late-5th and 7th centuries AD. These rings are most frequently found in richly furnished female graves, and would have served as the framework for bags that hung at the waist. Debate over the source of this ivory has prevailed since the 19th century, with walrus and mammoth ivory considered as possible contenders to eleph…
Machine Learning for collagen peptide biomarker determination in the taxonomic identification of archaeological fish remains
Species identification of archaeofaunal remains can be informative of changing local and global ecosystems, as well as how we interacted with them in the past. However, with the vast majority of assemblages being dominated by morphologically indeterminate specimens, methods of biomolecular species identification are becoming more popular, such as the protein fingerprint-based identification approach known as ZooMS (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrom…
Patterns of Violence in the Pre-Neolithic Nile Valley
Burial assemblages inform us about the biology of past societies, social relations, and ritual and symbolic behavior. However, they also allow us to examine the circumstances of death and social violence. A high level of intergroup violence among prehistoric hunter-gatherers is well-documented in some times and places but is extremely rare in others. Here we present an analysis of the perimortem injury to skeleton PD8 at the site of Sphinx in Cen…
Isotopic Insights into Livestock Production in Roman Italy
Agriculture is the most important intersection between farming communities and the natural world, with major implications for land exploitation and labour organisation. In Italy, at the heart of the Roman Empire, understanding of agriculture remains heavily dependent on ancient sources, which are unable to provide a regional or diachronic view of practices across the socio-economic spectrum. In order to gain insight into agricultural economies in…
Evaluating caprine remains of the Swedish Funnel Beaker culture through ZooMS
In northern Europe, the first indications of a Neolithic lifestyle appear around 4000 cal BC from northern Germany up to middle Sweden and south-eastern Norway in an apparently short period of time, largely carried by immigrant populations bringing new species of plants and animals into the region. However, the nature of this domestication "package" is not everywhere the same, whereby both environmental and cultural filters acted on the particula…
Modern human incursion into Neanderthal territories 54,000 years ago at Mandrin, France
Determining the extent of overlap between modern humans and other hominins in Eurasia, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, is fundamental to understanding the nature of their interactions and what led to the disappearance of archaic hominins. Apart from a possible sporadic pulse recorded in Greece during the Middle Pleistocene, the first settlements of modern humans in Europe have been constrained to ~45,000 to 43,000 years ago. Here, we report …
Collagen fingerprinting of Caribbean archaeological fish bones
Practice makes perfect? Inter‐analyst variation in the identification of fish remains from archaeological sites
Identification of faunal specimens based on a morphological comparison with known‐identity reference specimens is the standard methodology used in zooarchaeological analysis. However, the accuracy of identifications is rarely considered. In this paper, we report results of an experiment in which 13 analysts were asked to identify 50 fish skeletal elements from a reference collection and 50 fish skeletal elements from an archaeological collection …
Medieval fish remains on the Newport ship identified by ZooMS collagen peptide mass fingerprinting
Fish represent a key economic, social and ecological group of species that humans have exploited for tens of thousands of years. However, as many fish stocks are going into decline and with little known about the anthropogenic impacts on the health of the marine ecosystem pre-Industrial Revolution, understanding historical and archaeological exploitation of fish species is key to accurately modelling these changes. Here, we explore the potential …

Exploring Diversity in Neolithic Agropastoral Management in Mainland Greece Using Stable Isotope Analysis
New stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values of charred plant and bone collagen remains from 6th mill. BCE Halai, central Greece, together with datasets from 6th mill. BCE Kouphovouno, southern Greece, and later 6th/early 5th mill. BCE Makriyalos, northern Greece, demonstrate how early farming communities in mainland Greece adapted mixed farming strategies to distinct local environmental and cultural settings. Intra-site similariti…

Adaptive Trade-offs Towards the Last Glacial Maximum in North-Western Europe
The impact of deteriorating climatic conditions on variability in the archaeological record towards the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains uncertain. Partly as a result of poor-quality data, previous studies on Upper Palaeolithic (UP) societies of North-Western Europe prior to the LGM have focused on techno-typological traditions and diversification to outline the diachronic processes through which assemblage composition changed. This study addre…

Collagen fingerprinting of archaeological bone and teeth remains from Domuztepe, South Eastern Turkey
Species identification of archaeological marine mammals using collagen fingerprinting
Throughout human history, coastal and marine resources have been a vital part of human subsistence. As a result archaeological faunal assemblages from coastal sites often contain large quantities of skeletal remains indicative of human interaction with marine mammals. However, these are often hard to identify due to a unique combination of factors regarding the procurement, utilisation, morphological and physical characteristics of marine mammal …
Collagen survival and its use for species identification in Holocene-lower Pleistocene bone fragments from British archaeological and paleontological sites
Proteins have long been known to persist in Quaternary bone fossils and are often targeted as a source of carbon used in radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analyses for determining provenance and obtaining dietary information. We have previously reported a technique using the dominant structural protein collagen (type I) as a source of genetic information for species identification in modern and relatively young (Holocene) archaeological sampl…

Collagen fingerprinting and the Chumash billfish fishery, Santa Barbara Channel, California, USA
Billfish from the families Xiphiidae (swordfish) and Istiophoridae (marlins and sailfish) are large, often pelagic fishes that are highly migratory. Although some billfish have been the target of global commercial and sport fisheries for decades, prehistoric billfish foraging is relatively rare, but includes systematic swordfish (Xiphias gladius) and/or striped marlin (Kajikia audax) exploitation in the Santa Barbara Channel region of California,…

Specialized wool production economy of prehistoric farmstead of Chap I in the highlands of Central Tian Shan (Kyrgyzstan)
Agro-pastoral economies of prehistoric populations of Central Tian Shan highlands (2,000 masl and higher) have been poorly studied to date. Currently, we lack a general understanding of mobility and seasonality patterns of livestock herding and also lack knowledge about management strategies for particular productive goals in these high mountain valleys. In this paper, we report the results of the first systematic zooarchaeological analysis from …

Philosophic Method in Cicero
At the turn of the century, Wilhelm Windelband's Geschichte der Philosophie laid a judgment upon Cicero which would perdure, almost without challenge, through the decades that followed: his works exhibit an ability for compilation and a talent for expression, but they lack any power of philosophizing---a lack demonstrated in their eclectic selection among philosophic systems. Earlier Friedrich Uberweg had indicated the derivative nature of Ciccro…

Toward the Construction of Theology
The accomplishment of genius is both resource and inspiration: resource, because achievement lies like an endless quarry from which the future will draw and with which it will build; inspiration, because greatness stands as the embodiment of value, as an abiding influence which calls upon subsequent human effort. Accomplishment indicates what can be done, but one never repeats the past. To attempt to repeat is to play false even to that historica…
The University and the Concern for Justice
Those who give or receive instructions within a university are continually faced with the problem-whether they choose to pursue it or to ignore it-of determining the nature and the value of what they are doing. A university is often only a composite of vastly divergent departments, multiple perspectives, and even insulating specialties, but it can be drawn beyond these separations into that continual interchange which would constitute it an acade…
At the Origins of Modern Atheism
The rise of atheism in the modern world is a religious phenomenon unprecedented in history, both in the number of its adherents and in the security of its cultural establishment. How did so revolutionary a conviction as this arise? What can theological reflection learn from this massive shift in religious consciousness? In this book, Michael J. Buckley investigates the origins and development of modern atheism and argues convincingly that its imp…

Developing functional, affordable, clinical information systems
State and local government-run hospitals and institutions for the mentally-ill and the developmentally-disabled largely have been left out of the "information revolution" of the 1980s. While the demand for institutional information by legislators, planners, regulators, accrediting agencies, agency and institutional managers, and the public has increased, this demand has seldom been met by the additional financial and technological resources neede…

The Catholic University as Promise and Project
Fr. Michael Buckley has made an important contribution to the ongoing discussion of how to fulfill the mission and responsibilities of a Catholic university. Holding the Canisius Chair of Systematic Theology at Boston College and directing the Jesuit Institute there, he speaks both knowledgeably and authoritatively about how a Catholic university can reconcile fidelity to its church sponsor with the expectations of academic freedom created by its…
Russian Interpretations of Crisis
Across Russian historical periods there has been recurring discourse about the nature of 'crisis' and how best to solve it. In 1999 and 2000, parties and movements across the ideological spectrum variously defined its characteristics and consequences, illustrating a diversity and complexity in contemporary Russian political thought which offered competing recommendations for change. In contrast to the final years of the Soviet Union in 1990 and 1…

Species identification by analysis of bone collagen using matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionisation time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry
Species identification of fragmentary bone, such as in rendered meat and bone meal or from archaeological sites, is often difficult in the absence of clear morphological markers. Here we present a robust method of analysing genus‐specific collagen peptides by mass spectrometry simply by using solid‐phase extraction (a C18 ZipTip®) for peptide purification, rather than liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Analysis of the collagen from …

Justice in context
Moral and political philosophers are increasingly using empirical data to inform their normative theories. This has sparked renewed interest into questions concerning the relationship between facts and principles. A recent attempt to frame these questions within a broader approach to normative theory comes from David Miller, who has on several occasions defended ‘contextualism’ as the best approach to justice. Miller argues that the context of di…

Interactive Democracy
Interactive Democracy builds on Carol C. Gould's previous work by explaining how an interpersonal human rights framework can provide practical and realizable guidance for expanding the scope of democracy, deepening its responsiveness to people's basic needs, and realizing its core values of freedom, justice, and human dignity. The book's overarching aim is to address the failings of modern democracy by developing the philosophical underpinnings o…
