Modeling Protein Diagenesis in Ancient Bone: Towards a Validation of Stable Isotope Data
Modern mammalian bone was experimentally inoculated with soil bacteria to induce protein diagenesis. The protein relics extracted from these bones were compared with degraded protein from archaeological human bone. Protein identification was done by gel electrophoresis and amino acid analyses, whereby non-proteinogenetic amino acids were especially monitored. We present a model for microbial collagen break-down and the resulting consequences for …
In Vitro Decomposition of Bone Collagen by Soil Bacteria: The Implications for Stable Isotope Analysis in Archaeometry
To understand biogenic collagen type I decomposition and to establish how diagenesis may bias archaeometric data, modern mammalian bone was inoculated with a selection of ubiquitous soil bacteria. The presence of exogenous microbial biomass in the inoculated specimens was then checked microscopically prior to collagen extraction. The experimentally degraded bone collagen showed altered amino acid compositions, attributable to the selective breakd…
