As bioarcheologists and forensic anthropologists, we are writing to highlight the apparent lack of ethical consideration, or mention ethics, in published papers, especially when publishing on archeological human remains. In many situations, data deriving from excavated remains provide deep time perspective relevant populations today (e.g., Binder et al., 2014). However, bearing mind current debates around excavation, analysis, curation Squires, Errickson, & Márquez-Grant, 2019), any future,...
Abstract We present sulfur isotope ratio measurements of bone collagen from animals ( n = 75) and humans 120) five sites dating to four chronological periods (Chalcolithic, Punic, Late Antiquity‐Early Byzantine, Islamic) the Balearic Islands Ibiza Formentera, Spain. This study is a follow up previously published δ 13 C 15 N values by [Fuller et al.: Am J Phys Anthropol 143 (2010) 512–522] focuses on using 34 S better understand dietary patterns these populations through time possibly...
The field of forensic archaeology has been primarily associated with the search, location, and excavation clandestine graves, thus, other deposition types have commonly neglected in research. Current literature typically addresses use traditional methods implemented for recovery human remains from graves but fails to provide same surface scatter scenes. This study aimed explore documentation such scenes through integration archaeological techniques, geophysical surveying GIS. A mixed method...
Abstract To examine how dietary patterns may have changed in the western Mediterranean through time, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios were measured on extracted bone collagen from fauna ( n = 75) humans 135) spanning four distinct chronological periods: Chalcolithic (c.2100–1600 BC), Punic (6th–2nd/1st century Late Antiquity‐Early Byzantine (4th–7th AD), Islamic (c.10th–13th AD) islands of Ibiza Formentera, Spain. The Chalcolithic, Punic, Antiquity‐Byzantine societies all showed...
Abstract Within northwest Europe, especially the United Kingdom, red fox ( Vulpes vulpes ) and Eurasian Badger Meles meles are largest wild scavengers capable of modifying a set remains through scavenging. Knowledge region‐specific species‐typical scavenging behaviors within crime scene area surroundings can aid in more efficient accurate interpretations. The captive foxes badgers were recorded compared actualistic methods direct observation. by surface‐deposited baits whole deer Cervus...
Abstract The aim of this study is to provide an effective and quick reference guide based on the most useful E uropean formulae recently published for subadult age estimation.

As part of the road widening scheme between London and Dover, Oxford Archaeology South uncovered a large boundary ditch Iron Age origin that contained Roman inhumations, adjacent to which was small mid-late cemetery, interpreted as rural cemetery for Romano-British farmers. Grave goods in were restricted few individuals with hobnailed boots. Bulk bone collagen isotopic analysis 11 skeletons date gave typical C(3) terrestrial signal (average δ(13) C = -19.8‰, δ(15) N 9.3‰), but also revealed...
Investigating a fatal fire scene comprises analysis not only of the fire’s development to identify point origin and ignition source, but victim’s position their relationship within scene. This work presents both qualitative quantitative results from experimentation investigating effect real environment on human body, how victim at post burn investigation stage may be significantly different ignition. Qualitative observations were undertaken burning 39 compartment vehicle scenes through...
The mechanical and structural properties of bone are known to change significantly with age. Within forensic archaeological investigations, the medial end clavicle is typically used for estimating age-at-death an unknown individual. Although, this region skeleton interest clinical domains, alterations beyond macro-scale have not been fully explored. For study, non-destructive micro-computed tomography (µ-CT) was employed characterise cancellous clavicle. Fresh human cadaveric specimens...
