A 350 14 C yr discrepancy between bone and tooth dates from the same grave at the Early Neolithic cemetery of Shamanka II, Lake Baikal, southern Siberia
A 350 14 C yr discrepancy was found between dates on postcranial remains and mandibular teeth on what was thought to be the same individual from the Early Neolithic cemetery of Shamanka II, Lake Baikal. Stable nitrogen isotope results suggested a major shift in diet between childhood (when the teeth formed) and adulthood (represented by the postcrania), which could have resulted in different 14 C ages through a freshwater reservoir effect. Subseq…
Cholam Talks
Archaeological settlement CA-MNT-2328 (Cholame Valley, California) is likely the named Migueleño Salinan Rancheria of Cholam. Several areas of uncertainty about the origin of the Migueleño dialect and how it related to regional trade language(s) became apparent while trying to clarify this attribution. Multiple Salinan dialects were recognized in use at Missions San Antonio, San Miguel, and San Luis Obispo during the eighteenth and nineteenth cen…
A New Radiocarbon Database for the Lower 48 States
From 2014 to 2020, we compiled radiocarbon ages from the lower 48 states, creating a database of more than 100,000 archaeological, geological, and paleontological ages that will be freely available to researchers through the Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database. Here, we discuss the process used to compile ages, general characteristics of the database, and lessons learned from this exercise in 'big data' compilation

“Mind the gap”—Assessing methods for aligning age determination and growth rate in multi‐molar sequences of dietary isotopic data
OBJECTIVES: Creating multi-tooth sequences of micro-sampled stable isotope (SI) analytical data can help track 20+ years of individual dietary history. Inferences about individual and population level behavioral patterns require cross-calibration of the timing of dietary changes recorded by each tooth. Dentin sections from contemporaneous tissues (eg, in M1 and M2) reflect dietary signature for the time of growth. Contemporary sections should pro…

Shifting weaning practices in Early Neolithic Cis-Baikal, Siberia
Reconstructing individual dietary histories at Shamanka II, an Early Neolithic (7000-5700 cal. BP) Kitoi hunter-gatherer cemetery in Cis-Baikal, Siberia, revealed surprising intrapopulation variability in childhood diets. Stable isotope analytical data produced by micro-sampled first molars identified changes in both the timing and rate of weaning for different individuals. Further, examination within the framework of a high-resolution radiocarbo…

Provenance analysis of porphyritic volcanic materials in San Diego using portable X-ray Fluorescence
Determining Temporal Boundaries and Land Use Patterns
A growing database of archaeological radiocarbon dates collected in and around San Diego County, California, provides the opportunity to examine the efficacy of regional cultural phases based on prehistoric population histories. Current models generally hold that continuous sequential cultural phases provide explanatory structure to regional archaeological knowledge despite a complex physical environment spanning beaches, coastal lagoons, mountai…
Mobility of middle Holocene foragers in the Cis-Baikal region, Siberia
Trade Routes and Contradictory Spheres of Influence
A geochemical study of seven discrete areas within two rhyolitic formations in the Antelope Valley, California, has demonstrated that rhyolite artifacts could be sourced in the western Mojave Desert ( ). Provenance analysis of obsidian and rhyolite artifacts from four Late Prehistoric sites located on the northern and southern edges of the western Mojave Desert suggest direct procurement practices and the presence of a trade network through the A…
Micro-sampling of human bones for mobility studies
No Stone Unburned
Obsidian is an effective material for the study of prehistoric raw material use and exchange, due to the high degree of homogeneity and redundancy of obsidian materials and manufactured objects in the archaeological record. The destructive nature of many analytical techniques often impedes compositional research because of the damage that may occur to priceless archaeological artefacts. The combination of time‐of‐flight (TOF) ICP–MS with a laser …
