Bridging morphometrics and Archaeogenetics
The petrous part of the temporal bone is a target for ancient DNA research due to its biomolecular preservation, yet destructive sampling risks losing valuable morphological information. Bony labyrinth morphology, captured by high-resolution 3D imaging, carries strong taxonomic and evolutionary signals, but its bioarchaeological application remains limited. We assessed the potential of bony labyrinth geometric morphometrics (GMM) for species iden…
Revealing archaeological olive diversity
The cultivated olive tree, domesticated in the Levant by the mid-5th millennium BCE, spread westward across the Mediterranean to reach southern France by 600 BCE. Although geometric morphometrics applied to archaeological olive stones has provided insights into this diffusion, morphotype identification remains challenging, and the effects of charring, the most common preservation mode, are poorly understood. We compared ten morphometric approache…
Olive diversity in Pompeii
The exceptional preservation of archaeological remains in the Vesuvian area offers a unique taphonomic window into Roman agricultural practices. This study presents a geometric morphometric analysis, using Elliptical Fourier Transforms (EFT), applied to an extensive dataset of charred olive stones ( Olea europaea L.) recovered from the combustion structures of two bakeries in Pompeii. Rather than focusing exclusively on urban consumption, these f…

Years of morphometric evolution of sheep, goat and pig in the northwestern Mediterranean basin
Understanding how domestic mammal species evolved through time provides insight into the artificial and natural selection processes that have shaped the diversity of domestic animals. The focus of this article is the morphometric evolution of sheep, goats and suids in the Northwestern Mediterranean Basin over the last 8000 years, employing a 2D geometric morphometrics protocol applied to the third lower molars. Using a comprehensive dataset compr…

Comparative analysis of confocal microscopy objective magnifications on dental microwear texture Analysis. Implications for dietary reconstruction in caprines
In DMTA, a wide range of microscope objectives has been used, but its variability has been little explored. • This study presents a comparative analysis of dental microwear texture through different microscope objectives. • Dental microwear allowed distinguishing between wild and domestic caprine diets using 10x/0.30, 20x/0.45, 50x/0.80 and 100x/0.80 objectives. • A greater magnification and numerical aperture offer a higher discriminant capacity…
Estimating osteological sex using predictive geometric morphometric analyses of the greater sciatic notch
Features of the pelvis are widely used for estimating sex in both forensic and archaeological contexts. • Qualitative scales are unreliable in estimating sex. • Quantifying the shape of pelvic features using morphometrics provides greater accuracy in sex estimations. • Both the shape and angle of the greater sciatic notch are accurate predictors of biological sex. Accurately estimating the biological sex of human skeletal remains is crucial in bo…

Defining Fragmentation Patterns of Archaeological Bone Remains without Typologies
Fragmentation is a recurring feature of archaeological faunal material, and impacts many aspects of zooarchaeological studies from taxonomical identification to biometric studies. It can result from anthropic and natural actions that occurred respectively before and/or after bone deposit. While several bone fragmentation typologies have been described, they are currently based on both macroscopic observations and researcher subjectivity and lack …
Digital Zooarchaeology
Digital technologies are an increasingly pervasive medium for zooarchaeological scholarship, providing a means to document and preserve fragile zooarchaeological specimens, share primary data, address methodological questions, and spread the information to the wider public. During the last decade, a broad array of digital technologies has been widely applied for the creation of three-dimensional images of animal bones, with a number of freely acc…
Sorting the flock
Sheep and goat are often herded together and show morphological similarities in their skeleton. Being able to identify archaeological remains of these two taxa to species level is particularly important for understanding and characterising past herding practices. Discrete criteria are now available to identify a large number of their bones and teeth, and quantitative approaches have been developed for post-cranial elements but not for mandible an…
Archaeobiogeography of extinct rice rats (Oryzomyini) in the Lesser Antilles during the Ceramic Age (500 BCE–1500 CE)
During the Ceramic Age (500 BCE–1500 CE), Lesser Antilles rice rats (Tribe Oryzomyini) made up a significant portion of the diet of Caribbean islanders. Archaeological excavations across the archipelago resulted to the discovery of large quantities of remains from to these now extinct taxa. It offers a unique opportunity to investigate the past biogeography of this taxon of high cultural and ecological importance. We have studied 1140 first lower…

Phenotypic diversity in Bronze Age pigs from the Alpine and Central Plateau regions of Switzerland
Pig husbandry was one of the key components of Swiss Bronze Age communities. However, the extent of diversity within husbandry practices across these communities remains unclear, particularly for the Alpine and Swiss Central Plateau regions. Differences in tooth size and shape provide valuable proxies for exploring the history of pig populations and inferring changes to cultural and socio-economic behaviours. Thus, to explore geographical and chr…

Wild, domestic and feral? Investigating the status of suids in the Romanian Gumelniţa (5th mil. cal BC) with biogeochemistry and geometric morphometrics
The zooarchaeological application of quantifying cranial shape differences in wild boar and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) using 3D geometric morphometrics
The process of domestication increases the variety of phenotypes expressed in animals. Zooarchaeologists have attempted to study these changes osteologically in their search for the geographic and temporal origins of initial animal domestication during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. Traditional biometric approaches have explored broad changes in body size over time, but this approach provides poor resolution. Here we investigate whether…
The use of close-range photogrammetry in zooarchaeology
Close-range photographic techniques - including photogrammetry - are becoming common tools for constructing three-dimensional (3D) models of artifacts, particularly in archaeological research. Whether models obtained through photogrammetry can be used for zooarchaeological studies requires a systematic examination. In the context of research into dog domestication, we explore whether 3D models of wolf crania, obtained through a photogrammetric ap…

A landmark-based approach for assessing the reliability of mandibular tooth crowding as a marker of dog domestication
Tooth crowding is one of several criteria used to infer the process of domestication in the zooarchaeological record. It has been primarily used to support claims of early animal domestication, perhaps most contentiously in claims for the existence of so-called “proto-domestic” dogs as early as the Middle-Upper Palaeolithic. Tooth crowding studies vary in their methodological approaches, and interpretation of the resulting data is constrained by …

Pig Domestication and Human-Mediated Dispersal in Western Eurasia Revealed through Ancient DNA and Geometric Morphometrics
Zooarcheological evidence suggests that pigs were domesticated in Southwest Asia ~8,500 BC. They then spread across the Middle and Near East and westward into Europe alongside early agriculturalists. European pigs were either domesticated independently or more likely appeared so as a result of admixture between introduced pigs and European wild boar. As a result, European wild boar mtDNA lineages replaced Near Eastern/Anatolian mtDNA signatures i…
