Tracing Identity in a Fragmented Past
Open AccessAntonella Skepasianos, Cameron Neal et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2026
Human skeletal remains constitute critical archaeological evidence for reconstructing past societies, yet their investigation requires careful ethical, cultural, and legislative consideration. This paper reports on the discovery, recovery and analysis of a set of skeletal remains encountered during a cultural heritage management (CHM) investigation at Dungowan Creek, near Tamworth, NSW. Although initial evidence suggested the individual was a lat…
Geochemical changes of peat swamp sediments following fire in Southeastern Australia
Open AccessR J Ryan, Damien Lemarchand et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2026References: 86
Retrospective measurements of fire characteristics, such as fire severity, can increase model data input and improve predictions of future fire events. However, existing records of past fire severity are limited to the recent past; therefore, there is a need to develop new proxies that can significantly extend our fire records. Boron isotopes and major element concentrations of the clay-sized fraction of sediments were used to assess fire severit…
Assessing the Utility of Strontium Isotopes in Fossil Dental Calculus
Open AccessAnthony Dosseto, Florian Dux et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Method…2024References: 8
Strontium (Sr) isotopes measured in fossil remains have been a useful tool to assess the geographical origin and even migrations of humans and other animals. In particular, dental enamel generally represents the ideal material, as it is dense and less prone to diagenetic replacement of Sr post-burial. However, fossil teeth can often be precious artefacts and difficult to access for destructive analysis. Here, we assess whether measuring Sr isotop…

Colluvial slope agriculture in context

Archaeological research on traditional Hawaiian agriculture has generally focused on two primary strategies: irrigated pondfield and intensive dryland cultivation. However, other cultivation strategies, such as colluvial slope agriculture, were practiced but have been less intensively studied and remain poorly understood. To begin to remedy this paucity of information, a joint education and research project between International Archaeological Re…
The age of Homo naledi and associated sediments in the Rising Star Cave, South Africa
Open AccessPaul H G M Dirks, Eric M Roberts et al.ARTICLEeLife2017
New ages for flowstone, sediments and fossil bones from the Dinaledi Chamber are presented. We combined optically stimulated luminescence dating of sediments with U-Th and palaeomagnetic analyses of flowstones to establish that all sediments containing Homo naledi fossils can be allocated to a single stratigraphic entity (sub-unit 3b), interpreted to be deposited between 236 ka and 414 ka. This result has been confirmed independently by dating th…

Late-Holocene climatic variability indicated by three natural archives in arid southern Australia
Open AccessLuke A Gliganic, Tim J Cohen et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2013Cited by: 5References: 18
Three terrestrial climate proxies are used to investigate the evolution of Holocene palaeoenvironments in southern central Australia, all of which present a coherent record of palaeohydrology. Single-grain optically stimulated luminescence from sediments supplemented by 14 C from charcoal and lacustrine shells was obtained to date shoreline deposits (Lake Callabonna) and the adjacent Mt Chambers Creek alluvial fan. Our findings are complemented b…
