Quantifying Degradation of Archaeological Bone In Situ and in Museum Storage: A Comparison Between Environment and Degradation over Forty-Three Years for Bones from the Aasivissuit Site, Western Green…
Degradation of archaeological bone is a complex process that is influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. Here we study the decay of bones recovered from a large midden at the Inuit summer hunting camp, Aasivissuit, in West Greenland, dating from 1200 CE to 1950 CE. The site was partly excavated in 1978 and revisited for further excavation in 2021 to study changes in the materials’ state of preservation, both in situ and in museum st…
Pick the Right Pocket. Sub-sampling of Bone Sections to Investigate Diagenesis and DNA Preservation
Many archaeological bones display a heterogeneous degradation pattern. Highly degraded bones could contain pockets of well-preserved bone, harbouring good quality DNA. This dichotomy may explain why the relationships between global bone preservation parameters such as histological integrity, bone mineral crystallinity or collagen yield, and bulk DNA preservation/amplification success rate have been found to be at best, weak to moderate. In this p…

Wrappings of power: A woman's burial in cattle hide at Langwell Farm, Strath Oykel
A well-preserved burial, discovered during peat clearing on Langwell Farm in Strath Oykel, Easter Ross, consisted of a stone cist that held the skeleton of a woman who had died in 2200–1960 cal bc. Although the cist contents were disturbed and partly removed before archaeological investigation took place, the burial rite can be interpreted to some extent. The woman, who died in her late 20s, had been wrapped in brown cattle hide, and wooden and w…
Are Teeth Better? Histological Characterization of Diagenesis in Archaeological Bone-Tooth Pairs and a Discussion of the Consequences for Archaeometric Sample Selection and Analyses: Are Teeth Better
Teeth are often the preferred source material for isotopic and genetic assay involving ancient biomolecules. The assumption is that dental tissue preserves better due to its anatomically protected location, the enamel cap, and lower porosity compared to bone. However, this assumption has not been widely tested. Some similarities in diagenetic processes are to be expected due to similarities in structure and chemical composition of dentine and bon…
How are teeth better than bone? An investigation of dental tissue diagenesis and state of preservation at histological scale (with photo catalogue)
Teeth are often the preferred substrate for isotopic and genetic assays in archaeological research. Teeth can yield isotopic signals from different periods of an individual's lifetime, useful in dietary reconstruction, climate research, and investigation into mobility of people and animals in the past. Additionally, it is generally accepted that teeth preserve biomolecules (e.g. DNA, collagen) and isotopic signals better. Despite the importance o…
Testing an Alternative High‐throughput Tool for Investigating Bone Diagenesis: Ftir in Attenuated Total Reflection (Atr) Mode
Archaeological bone undergoes alterations after burial (diagenesis) that constitute a problem for the survival of archaeological information. A common method to assess this alteration is Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). However, the commonly applied method (FTIR–KBr) is destructive and sample preparation may influence the results. This paper tests the suitability of FTIR attenuated total reflection (FTIR–ATR), a method not commonly…
What Happened Here? Bone Histology as a Tool in Decoding the Postmortem Histories of Archaeological Bone from Castricum, The Netherlands
It is generally a challenge to interpret incomplete and degraded skeletal assemblages found during archaeological excavations. Several events after the death of animals and humans, before and during burial, will have influenced the situation as seen upon excavation. This postmortem sequence of events can be calledthe taphonomic history of bones. Taphonomic signatures as detected using histology can provide additional data on deposition/burial and…
