Skeletal dysplasia of an adult male from medieval Łekno in Poland, Central Europe
The skeletal dysplasias are a group of more than 450 heritable disorders that affect bone and cartilage, along with muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Achondroplasia is one of the most common skeletal dysplasias in both current and past populations. It can be transmitted intergenerationally, or it can result from a mutation. This paper aims to describe the lesions visible on the skeleton of a 30–45 year old male with achondroplasia, who lived durin…

Horses, Hemiones, Hydruntines? Assessing the Reliability of Dental Criteria for Assigning Species to Southwest Asian Equid Remains
Many faunal assemblages across southwest Asia contain the remains of multiple wild equid species, which may reflect individual prehistoric human populations' use of different hunting and/or landscape exploitation strategies. Accurate equid species assignments are therefore important. This paper tests the extent to which zooarchaeologists agree on equid species assignments made using commonly used zooarchaeological dental identification criteria. …
Disentangling the effect of farming practice from aridity on crop stable isotope values
Agriculture has played a pivotal role in shaping landscapes, soils and vegetation. Developing a better understanding of early farming practices can contribute to wider questions regarding the long-term impact of farming and its nature in comparison with present-day traditional agrosystems. In this study we determine stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of barley grains from a series of present-day traditionally managed farming plots in Moroc…
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis at Neolithic Çatalhöyük
Bioarchaeology of Neolithic Çatalhöyük
Age Ought to Be a Fact
In 1898, two decades after it had passed its first law restricting the employment of children, the state of Wisconsin still found it difficult to enforce its child labor laws. Although these laws used age as the basis of legal employment, children's ages were nearly impossible for officials to determine. The problem, the state's commissioner of labor explained, was twofold. First, he alleged, parents lied about children's ages. Second, this decep…
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis and dietary reconstruction through the life course at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey
Food has long served as a mechanism for identifying and reinforcing social structures, but while carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis has provided important identity-based evidence of past diets, the cyclical and stable/fluid nature of food consumption practices across the life course has been relatively neglected. In this paper, the large human assemblage at Çatalhöyük with all age groups present has enabled diet reconstruction of the rarely rep…
Refining human palaeodietary reconstruction using amino acid δ15N values of plants, animals and humans
An established method of estimating the trophic level of an organism is through stable isotope analysis of its tissues and those of its diet. This method has been used in archaeology to reconstruct past human diet from the stable nitrogen isotope (δ15N) values of human and herbivore bone collagen. However, this approach, using the 15N-enrichment of human bone collagen δ15N values over associated herbivore bone collagen δ15N values to predict the …

Calcium Isotopes in Juvenile Milk‐consumers
The calcium isotope ratios (δ 44/42 Ca) in milk‐consuming infants and juveniles are compared to adults at two archaeological sites to test whether milk consumption is detectable in the skeleton using calcium isotopes. At Aşıklı Höyük, δ 44/42 Ca is correlated with δ 15 N and differs significantly between juveniles and adults, suggesting that δ 44/42 Ca is responding to dietary milk input. However, at Christ Church, Spitalfields, no correlation be…
Exploring the relationship between weaning and infant mortality
We measured stable nitrogen isotope ratios in bone collagen of 60 individuals from the early Neolithic (9th–8th millennium Cal. BC) sites of Çayönü Tepesi and Aşıklı Höyük. Our aim was to identify the duration of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), compare this with juvenile mortality at each site, and assess whether there was a relationship between them. The isotope analysis suggests that weaning commenced at about 1 year at Aşıklı Höyük and around 2…
Hunters, fishers and scavengers
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of bone collagen is now a popular method of palaeodietary inquiry. With the routine application of this technique, small sample sizes and good organic preservation in many late Pleistocene sites, there are now a large number of stable isotope articles available that report on Palaeolithic diet. A number of these have focused on reconstructing Neanderthal diet because carbon and nitrogen measurements of …
