Evaluating Histological Methods for Assessing Hair Fibre Degradation
The hair shaft has increasing importance in bioarchaeology, since it is now possible to retrieve detailed biomolecular information on recent life history using individual fibres (e.g., on diet, drug use and DNA). Data on hair condition is an important cornerstone to ensuring that reliable information is obtained. The following study defines morphological features of degradative change in human terminal scalp hair using different microscopy techni…
Towards an Understanding of the Interaction of Hair With the Depositional Environment
There is developing interest in the analytical use of human hair from archaeological contexts in key research areas such as DNA, trace elemental and isotopic analyses. Other human tissues, especially bone, that have been used for trace element, isotopic and DNA analyses have had extensive study concerning their diagenesis, but this has not been done for hair. Consideration must be given to the complex interaction of hair with its buried environme…
The Experimental Earthwork at Wareham, Dorset after 33 Years
The development of a medieval street frontage
In advance of redevelopment, an excavation was carried out in 1992 by the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust Ltd (SUAT) at 80-86 High Street, Perth.Three burgageplots were identified on this prime street frontage site, with medieval occupation spanning some three centuries from the mid-to late 12th century through to the late 14th or early 15th century.Structural remains were not well represented, but there was significant evidence for small-sca…
Death, Decay, and Ritual Reconstruction
Archaeologists often joke that patterning which cannot be explained in socio‐economic terms is likely to be of ritual significance. This view has contributed to both reticence about and a rather impressionistic approach to potential ritual patterning in the archaeological record. The application of interpretations derived from the forensic sciences to such contexts may help to exclude natural or taphonomic processes that can mimic these patterns …
A Review of Archaeological Textile Evidence from South Asia
Les auteurs proposent dans cet article les resultats d'un travail de prospection des sites ayant recemment livre les temoins de materiel textile (traces sur les produits de metal corrodes, traces imprimees sur les poteries) et d'une evaluation de leur interet quant a une datation plus ancienne de groupes deja connus. Le but est d'apporter de nouveaux elements en vue des recherches futures sur le corpus connu, ainsi qu'une liste des sites protohis…
Forensic archaeology in Britain
Forensic archaeology is a relatively recent development in the UK but has already shown its worth on a number of scenes of crime; it has a particular role to play in the location and recovery of buried remains, notably in homicide investigations. This paper explores the overlap between archaeology and criminal investigation and considers areas of mutual interest, experience and potential
Recent vertebrate carcasses and their paleobiological implications
A Study of the Decay Processes of Human Skeletal Remains From the Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, Rothwell, Northamptonshire
The 13th century charnel house (or ‘bone crypt') situated underneath the church of the Holy Trinity, Rothwell is one of only two surviving charnel houses in Britain and is therefore important not only in structural terms but also as a reservoir of human osteoarchaeological material. Over the last 60 years concern has been expressed about the condition of the crypt and the ‘deterioration’ of the bones. In this paper the authors outline their multi…
