Human skeletal development and feeding behavior
Stable Isotopes in Yellow-Bellied Marmot ( Marmota Flaviventris ) Fossils Reveal Environmental Stability in the Late Quaternary of the Colorado Rocky Mountains
High elevation plant and animal communities are considered extremely sensitive to environmental change. We investigated an exceptional fossil record of yellow-bellied marmot ( Marmota flaviventris ) specimens that was recovered from Cement Creek Cave (elev. 2860 m) and ranged in age from radiocarbon background circa 49.8 cal ka BP to ~ 1 cal ka BP. We coupled isotopic and radiocarbon measurements (δ 18 O, δD, δ 15 N, δ 13 C, and 14 C) of bone col…

The known, the unknown and the unknowable
The Dutch whalers
Human migration is a hallmark of the species and there is significant interest in methods that can determine the past migrations of humans and associated fauna. We present a new method that utilizes collagen oxygen, carbon and nitrogen isotopes from histologically informed samples of cortical bone. The utility of this multi-isotopic, life history approach is demonstrated in migrating Dutch whalers, and both the possibilities and limitations of th…

Independent confirmation of a diagnostic sheep/goat peptide sequence through DNA analysis and further exploration of its taxonomic utility within the Bovidae
Finding Fodder and Tracking Transhumance
The domestication of several animal taxa in the Near East approximately 10,000 years ago marked a fundamental shift in human-animal interactions that irrevocably transformed the subsistence base of prehistoric societies. Domesticates eventually provided humans with an easily accessible source of animal products including meat, milk, and hair, but the mechanisms by which humans first experimented with and domesticated their animals remain poorly u…
Brief communication
Stressors such as fasting or poor diet quality are thought to potentially alter the nitrogen and carbon isotopic values of animal tissues. In this study, we demonstrate an inverse correlation between growth rate and multiple tissue enrichment of δ 15 N, δ 13 C, and, to a lesser degree, δ 18 O in a juvenile pig. A more complex pattern is observed with respect to tissue δD and growth rate. The observed association between growth rate and tissue iso…
Alkaline cooking and stable isotope tissue-diet spacing in swine
Stable oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δD) isotopes in ovicaprid dentinal collagen record seasonal variation
The consilience of historical and isotopic approaches in reconstructing the medieval Mediterranean diet
Foddering by Mongolian pastoralists is recorded in the stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes of caprine dentinal collagen
Mineralogical and compositional changes in bones exposed on soil surfaces in Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Extending the limits of paleodietary studies of humans with compound specific carbon isotope analysis of amino acids
Alterations in fossil collagen
Fossil collagens isolated from fauna excavated at Kent’s Cavern, Torquay, England, present a number of chemical and biochemical changes relative to modern collagens, including increased atomic C/N values, differential loss of some amino acids, alterations in molecular weights, altered response to diagnostic staining and increased fluorescence. In the aggregate, these changes suggest primarily chemical as opposed to microbiological impacts, and au…
Ancient DNA analysis of human populations
The use of ancient DNA (aDNA) in the reconstruction of population origins and evolution is becoming increasingly common. The resultant increase in number of samples and polymorphic sites assayed and the number of studies published may give the impression that all technological hurdles associated with aDNA technology have been overcome. However, analysis of aDNA is still plagued by two issues that emerged at the advent of aDNA technology, namely t…

Trophic Structure and Climatic Information From Isotopic Signatures in Pleistocene Cave Fauna of Southern England
The Mechanism of Organic Preservation at Monte Verde, Chile, and One Use of Biomolecules in Archaeological Interpretation
Monte verde, a habitation site in southern Chile, is the source of exceptionally well-preserved organic materials. The depositional and chemical circumstances that led to the persistence of this unique assemblage included an anoxic, reducing environment protected by an- overlying peat layer and a silica gel-rich substrate.Utilizing the immunological techniques of ELISA assays and Western blots, a subset of lithic artifacts was tested for blood tr…

Human skeletal development and feeding behavior
Subsistence in the Florida Archaic
A paleodietary analysis of the mid-Holocene mortuary site, Windover (8BR246), based on carbon and nitrogen bone-collagen values and archaeobotanical information is consistent with a subsistence strategy that utilized river-dwelling fauna and a range of terrestrial flora, such as grapes and prickly pear. The isotopic analysis does not support the extensive human dietary use of either marine mammals or classic terrestrial fauna such as deer or rabb…
