Identifying Archaeological Bone and Antler and Methods to Soften Them Using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy
This article reports test studies on the potential application of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (hereafter FTIR) for distinguishing artefacts made from the bone and antler of European cervids ( Cervidae ). The research was based on contemporary (reference) samples from red deer, roe deer, moose, and reindeer, as well as archaeological material from the Upper Paleolithic to modern times, from Poland and Lithuania. The study also c…
Case study
Traceology suggests an unexpected use of antler cheekpieces from the Early Iron Age site at Gzin, Poland
Archaeological data confirm the widespread use of horse tack throughout the North European Bronze Age and the succeeding Hallstatt period in an inventory that included metal cheekpieces, phalerae, rein-knobs and other horse-related accessories. Similar usage has been assumed in the region of northern Poland, which has also furnished evidence for the use of horse gear accessories made of antler. This paper reports the results of traceological, iso…
A new perspectives on breastfeeding practice reconstruction in bioarchaeology – an oxygen isotopes study in an animal model
Research using stable isotopes for the reconstruction of breastfeeding strategies are based on assumptions that have not yet been verified by experimental studies. Interpreting the results of isotope analysis is associated with a certain degree of uncertainty, mainly due to the lack of information on how isotopes are distributed in mothers, breast-fed and weaned offspring. Culinary practices also can affect the interpretation of isotope results. …
Application of the microtomography technique in density studies of prehistoric and historical human skeletal materials
Bone density is not a standard parameter examined during anthropological analysis, although researchers increasingly attempt to assess bone mineral density (BMD) in prehistoric populations. Computed tomography (CT) has great potential in this type of research. Micro CT is a precise and universal tool for bone density measurement based on CT value (attenuation factor of the X‐rays at a given point in space). Thirty‐four archaeological human radial…
The diet of the human groups buried in a late- and post-Medieval rural parish cemetery in Libkovice (Czech Republic)
Libkovice is a village in the northwestern Czech Republic that was demolished at the end of the last century due to the expansion of a nearby mine. The former church cemetery has been a subject to bioarchaeological excavation and research, where some 850 burials from the 13th to the 19th Century have been discovered so far. With the application of stable isotope analysis, it has also been possible to uncover the dietary patterns of this exemplary…
Optimizing FTIR method for characterizing diagenetic alteration of skeletal material
Dental caries and breastfeeding in early childhood in the late Medieval and Modern populations from Radom, Poland
Studies of dental caries on the deciduous dentition can be a source of information about changes in diet, which can be correlated with the time of eruption of the deciduous and permanent teeth. In this respect, the moment of transition from the maternal diet (mother's milk) to solid food is particularly interesting. The aim of this study was to assess changes in the diet of children who inhabited Radom, Poland, in the late Medieval/early Modern (…
Relationships between osteoarthritic changes (osteophytes, porosity, eburnation) based on historical skeletal material
Background: Three main diagnostic types of osteoarthritic changes are distinguished in clinical and anthropological literature: osteophytes, porosity, and eburnation. The nature of the relationship between these changes and how lesions progress over time is still unclear. Aim: The aim of the present study is the analysis of the relationships between osteophytes, porosity, and eburnation based on skeletal material. Subjects and methods: The analys…
A rare case of a supernumerary tooth (mesiodens) in an Iron Age (2470 ± 35 bp ) skeleton from Koziegłowy (Poland)
Although supernumerary teeth are well documented clinically, they are uncommon in contemporary and historical populations. The most common form of supernumerary tooth is the mesiodens. Despite radiological studies of historical dental materials, cases of mesiodens are rarely found. This paper presents the first case of a mesiodens in archeological material from Poland, belonging to an adult male from Koziegłowy (Poland). The remains were dated to…
Dental caries and isotope studies in the population of Radom (Poland) between the 11th and 19th centuries
This study aims to assess changes in the diet of individuals from Radom (Poland) by applying odontological and physicochemical methods. We evaluated the intensity of dental caries and quality of diet through isotope analyses (δ13C and δ15N). Three consecutive time periods were selected: the early Medieval (EMP, 11th to 12th c.), late Medieval/early Modern (LMP, 14th to 17th c.) and Modern (MP, 18th to19th c.) periods. The dental remains of 247 ad…
Dental caries and stable isotopes analyses in the reconstruction of diet in Mesolithic (6815–5900 BC) individuals from Northeastern Poland
Oxygen stable isotopes variation in water precipitation in Poland – anthropological applications
The main objective of oxygen isotope analysis is to determine the probable place of origin of an individual or the reconstruction of migration paths. The research are methodologically based on referencing oxygen isotope ratios of apatite phosphates (δ18Op) to the range of environmental background δ18O, most frequently determined on the basis of precipitation. The present work is a response to the need for providing background for oxygen isotope s…
