The Late Mesolithic juveniles of Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov, Russia: New insights from mortuary data
Juveniles remain a largely underexplored socio-biological category in Mesolithic mortuary research, despite their potential to shed light on social values and community dynamics. The burial site at Yuzhniy Oleniy Ostrov (YOO), Karelia, Russia, the largest known Mesolithic burial site in Northeastern Europe, provides a unique opportunity to explore the mortuary treatment of children and adolescents. This study uses osteoarchaeological methods in a…
Old goats: 3,000 Years of genetic connectivity of the domestic goat in Ireland
The domestic goat likely first arrived to the island of Ireland as part of the introduction of agriculture approximately 5900 years ago, and remains a part of the island's biocultural heritage. However, due to the challenges of differentiating goat remains from that of sheep using traditional archaeozoological approaches, there are few specimens specifically identified as goat. To address this, we employed genetic, proteomics, and archaeozoologic…
Biomechanics of a Physically Impaired Individual from Early Medieval Ranelagh, Ireland
This research describes the methods used to re-create the biomechanics of a physically impaired middle-aged male, SK67, dated 893–1023 C.E., from the early medieval cemetery at Ranelagh, Co. Roscommon, Ireland, who experienced an antemortem femoral head fracture. A gap in research exists between the osteological evidence and the nature of the true biomechanical gait. Computer simulation of musculoskeletal models is an emerging engineering approac…
Urine lipoarabinomannan concentrations among HIV-negative adults with pulmonary or extrapulmonary tuberculosis disease in Vietnam
Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is a promising target biomarker for diagnosing subclinical and clinical tuberculosis (TB). Urine LAM (uLAM) testing using rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) has been approved for people living with HIV (PLWH), however there is limited data regarding uLAM levels in HIV-negative (HIV-ve) adults with clinical TB. We conducted a clinical study of adults presenting with clinical TB-related symptoms at the National Lung Hospital in H…
From biorepositories to data repositories: Open-access resources accelerate early R&D and validation of equitable diagnostic tools
Diagnostics are critical tools that guide clinical decision-making for patient care and support disease surveillance. Despite its importance, developers and manufacturers often note that access to specimen panels and essential reagents is one of the key challenges in developing quality diagnostics, particularly in low-resource settings. A recent example, as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded there was a need for clinical samples across the globe to s…
Normative, Atypical or Deviant? Interpreting Prehistoric and Protohistoric Child Burial Practices
Normative, Atypical or Deviant? Interpreting Prehistoric and Protohistoric Child Burial Practices , the tenth volume in the SSCIP monograph series, explores the response of the living when dealing with the death of a child. This response is strongly connected to belief systems and concern for the fate of the deceased in the afterlife. The funerary rituals for each culture generally follow a prescribed format that will both satisfy the needs of th…
Migration,Group Agency, and Archaeology: A New Theoretical Model
Unlike other social sciences, the archaeological discipline has been lacking a theoretical framework to discuss the mechanism of migration. Traditionally, patterns of population movements were denoted from material culture and interpreted within the context of ethnicity and the diffusion of ideas without considering underlying processes and incentives, despite active consideration of these issues by geographers and sociologists. It was not until …

Children, Death and Burial: Archaeological Discourses
New dates from the north and a proposed chronology for Irish court tombs

Revisiting Quanterness: New AMS dates and stable isotope data from an Orcadian chamber tomb
A total of 20 new AMS radiocarbon determinations on human bone have been obtained for the Neolithic chamber tomb of Quanterness, Orkney. The results show poor agreement with the recorded stratigraphy, suggesting extensive mixing of the chamber deposits. A Bayesian model treating all of the determinations as deriving from a single phase of activity provides a start date in the range 3510 – 3220 cal BC (most probably falling after 3450 cal BC), wit…
I Am Not Dead, but Do Sleep Here: The Representation of Children in Early Modern Burial Grounds in the North of Ireland
The nature of burial practices relating to children within formal ecclesiastical burial grounds in the period from the seventeenth century to the nineteenth century has, to date, been largely ignored by archaeologists. Even a preliminary survey of such memorials, however, indicates that gravestones erected in the memory of children form a substantial component of the overall corpus of memorials within individual graveyards or cemeteries. A child …
Prehistoric Old World Scalping: New Cases from the Cemetery of Aymyrlyg, South Siberia
Evidence for three definitive cases of scalping have been identified among the corpus of human skeletal remains excavated from the Iron Age south Siberian cemetery of Aymyrlyg in Tuva. The osteological evidence for scalping that is apparent in these individuals is presented here, as are the results of a recent reexamination of a previously known south Siberian case from the royal burial in Kurgan 2 at Pazyryk. These four Iron Age Siberian cases o…
