  • Younger Dryas reindeer in northwest Europe

    Open AccessR E Stevens, Hazel Reade et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Environments and Humans2026

    Reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus ) played a central role in the subsistence strategies of Late and Final Palaeolithic populations across northern Europe, particularly during the Younger Dryas (c. 12,850–11,650 cal BP). However, while reindeer are known from securely dated Younger Dryas faunal contexts in Britain, they are not associated with archaeological assemblages, and there is currently no conclusive evidence for human presence in Britain at the…

  • Wetland sulfur isotope signals and dynamic isotope baselines

    Open AccessSarah Wexler, Sarah K Wexler et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Environmental…2025

    Sulfur isotopic composition (δ 34 S) is used in archaeological research to reconstruct past mobility patterns and diet using environmental baselines. Human and faunal collagen δ 34 S is generally interpreted as reflecting environmental baselines derived from geological sulfur and marine sulfur near the coast. However, recent studies have highlighted that the δ 34 S of bioavailable sulfur is modified in wetlands and waterlogged environments as a r…

  • New Insights into Serbian Cave Bear (Ursus spelaeus) Diet and Ecology Using Bone Collagen δ 13 C and δ 15 N Analysis in the Context of European Cave Bear Extinction

    Open AccessJ R Jones, R E Stevens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2025Referências: 42

    The extinction of the cave bears (Ursus spelaeus) and the factors leading to their demise have been widely discussed. Environmental change, dietary inflexibility, human predation, and resource competition all potentially contributed to their decline. Determining the ecological and dietary behaviour of cave bears is crucial in contextualising their extinction. Here, bone collagen δ13C and δ15N evidence from the site of Šalitrena Pećina (Serbia), f…

  • Cold and arid climates experienced by Central European hunter-gatherers at Stránská skála IV during the Last Glacial Maximum

    Open AccessR E Stevens, Hazel Reade et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2025Referências: 4

    Several studies have argued that human presence in Central Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) may have been restricted to brief periods of climate warming. In particular, Greenland Interstadial-2 (GI-2, c.23,300–22,800 BP), a brief warm event recorded in Greenland ice-core stratigraphy, has been associated with human activity at Central European sites such as Kastelhöhle-Nord and Y-Höhle (Switzerland), and Kammern-Grubgraben (Austria). …

  • Late Pleistocene Hominin Settlement Patterns in the Central Balkans

    A B Marín‐arroyo, Ana B Marín-Arroyo et al.CHAPTERPrehistoric Hunter-Gatherers of…2023

    Recent research in the Central Balkans is discovering multiple human occupations previously unknown from the region, revealing its strategical location within Europe for human populations dispersing towards Central and Western Europe during the Pleistocene. Šalitrena Pećina (Serbia) contains evidence of late Neanderthal and early anatomically modern human (AMH) presence during the mid-to-late MIS 3. A Bayesian model of the radiocarbon dates, comb…

  • Iso-Wetlands

    Open AccessR E Stevens, Hazel Reade et al.ARTICLEArchaeology International2022

    Iso-Wetlands is a new, NERC-funded collaborative research project involving researchers at UCL Institute of Archaeology, the University of Leeds and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. The project is developing sulfur isotope analysis of archaeological plants and animals as a new tool for exploring hydrological conditions under which agricultural production was taking place. This development has the potential to improve understanding of wate…

  • Stable isotopes reveal dietary shifts associated with social change in Hellenistic, Roman and Late Antique Knossos

    Open AccessAnna C Moles, Hazel Reade et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2022Citada por: 3Referências: 28

    Knossos was an important city on Crete and within Mediterranean networks in terms of trade and political status, though its status differed throughout the Hellenistic, Roman and Late Antique periods. This paper uses stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis to consider whether people at Knossos had differential diets due to the social, political, cultural, and economic changes across this time frame, factoring in age, sex and social status. Sam…

  • The organics revolution

    Open AccessPenny Johnston, Thomas J Booth et al.ARTICLEWorld Archaeology2022Citada por: 4Referências: 79

    Organic remains from excavated sites include a wide range of materials, from distinct organisms (‘ecofacts’) to biomolecules. Biomolecules provide a variety of new research avenues, while ecofacts with longer histories of study are now being re-harnessed in unexpected ways. These resources are unlocking research potential, transcending what was previously imagined possible. However, this ‘organics revolution’ comes with a salutary corollary: our …

  • Stable isotopes confirm the Banwell Bone Cave Mammal Assemblage Zone represents an MIS 5 fauna

    Open AccessR E Stevens, Hazel ReadeARTICLEQuaternary Research2021

    The position of the Banwell Bone Cave mammal assemblage zone (MAZ) in the mammalian biostratigraphy of the British Isles has been the focus of debate for decades. Dominated by fauna typical of cold environments it was originally linked to the marine oxygen isotope stage (MIS) 4 stadial (ca. 72–59 ka). Subsequently it was argued that the Banwell Bone Cave MAZ more likely relates to the temperate interstadial of MIS 5a (ca. 86–72 ka). It is envisio…

  • Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian chronology and palaeoenvironments at Kůlna Cave, Moravia, Czech Republic

    Open AccessHazel Reade, Sonja B Grimm et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2021Citada por: 11Referências: 86

    Kůlna Cave is the only site in Moravia, Czech Republic, from which large assemblages of both Magdalenian and Epimagdalenian archaeological materials have been excavated from relatively secure stratified deposits. The site therefore offers the unrivalled opportunity to explore the relationship between these two archaeological phases. In this study, we undertake radiocarbon, stable isotope (carbon, nitrogen and sulphur), and ZooMS analysis of the a…

    OBJECTIVES: Historical evidence suggests that social hierarchy pervaded all aspects of society in post-Medieval England. This study uses stable isotope analysis to explore the extent to which socioeconomic status and sex affected the dietary habits of the inhabitants of post-Medieval Chichester. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were measured on 40 human burials from the post-Medieval site of St. Michael's Litten (C…

  • A Multi-Proxy Reconstruction of Environmental Change in the Vicinity of the North Bay Outlet of Pro-Glacial Lake Algonquin

    Open AccessRyan J Rabett, A J E Pryor et al.ARTICLEOpen Quaternary2019Citada por: 1Referências: 79

    We present a multi-proxy study of environmental conditions during and after the recessional phases of pro-glacial Lake Algonquin in the vicinity of the North Bay outlet, Great Lakes Basin. Data presented comes from a new sedimentary profile obtained from the Balsam Creek kettle lake c. 34 km north-east of the city of North Bay. This site lies close to the north-east margin of the maximum extent of the post-Algonquin lake sequence, which drained t…

  • Collagen stable isotopes provide insights into the end of the mammoth steppe in the central East European plains during the Epigravettian

    Open AccessD G Drucker, R E Stevens et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2018

    Higher δ 15 N values in bone collagen of mammoth ( Mammuthus primigenius ) compared with coeval large herbivores is a classic trait of the mammoth steppe. An exception applies to the Epigravettian site of Mezhyrich (ca. 18–17.4 ka cal BP) in the central East European plains, where mammoth bones have δ 15 N values equivalent to or in a lower range than those of horse specimens ( Equus sp.). We expanded our preliminary dataset to a larger sampling …

  • Finding Britain's last hunter-gatherers

    Open AccessSophy Charlton, M M Alexander et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2016Citada por: 11Referências: 15

    In the last decade, our knowledge of the transition from foraging, fishing, and hunting to agricultural food production has been transformed through the molecular analysis of human remains. In Britain, however, the lack of Late Mesolithic human remains has limited our understanding of this dietary transition. Here, we report the use of a novel strategy to analyse otherwise overlooked material to identify additional human remains from this period.…

  • Diversity in foddering strategy and herd management in late Bronze Age Britain

    R Madgwick, Jacqui Mulville et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2012Citada por: 29Referências: 15

    Middens of the southern British late Bronze and Iron Age are vast accumulations of cultural debris that can be explained as refuse dumps linked with large periodic feasting events. A distinctive feature of these sites is that their faunal assemblages invariably comprise a considerably higher proportion of pig remains than contemporaneous settlement sites. This paper presents results from a programme of stable carbon (d13C) and nitrogen (d15N) iso…
