Abstract A number of recent studies have investigated the opinions pupils about effective rewards and sanctions available within schools. One recurring finding is that consider information sent from school to their parents commending good work behaviour, or criticising unsatisfactory performance, be most, among respectively. Whilst previous suggested some teachers do not expect positive, home‐based reinforcement strategies effective, views been systematically explored. If schools wish...
Bones represent a valuable biological archive of environmental lead (Pb) exposure for modern and archaeological populations. Synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence imaging (SR-XFI) generates maps Pb in bone on microstructural scale, potentially providing insights into an individual's history and, the context bone, biogenic or diagenetic nature its uptake. The aims this study were to (1) examine spatial patterns from samples cadavers compared with observed archaeologically, (2) test...
Starvation represents a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality, past present, is therefore of critical importance the field paleopathology. Scholars have previously argued that while understanding human health, starvation often not directly observable in skeletal remains. But this assessment still valid today? In re-evaluating assessment, paper discusses new developments analysis (1) “hunger osteopathies” (osteoporosis with some overlay osteomalacia), (2) signs arrested growth...
Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by consumption of the gluten protein, is theorized to have originated alongside domestication wheat during European Agricultural Revolution, ca. 8 000 BCE (Freeman 2013). Human conditions that primarily affect soft tissue, like celiac do not leave tangible evidence on skeleton and therefore it difficult prove their presence. However, recent analyses employed a suite macroscopic, molecular, chemical techniques establish Roman Imperial (100–300...
Bioarchaeology, the sub-discipline of archaeology concentrating on human remains, involves study skeletal tissues to make inferences about lifeways in past. Trace metals such as lead (Pb...
This plain language summary summarizes research recently undertaken as part of an MA thesis (September 2020) at the Department Archaeology and Anthropology (University Saskatchewan). set out to map patterns lifetime lead exposure versus post-mortem contamination in bone samples from both modern Saskatchewan archaeological individuals. In addition measuring levels each sample, this used a synchrotron radiation-based element mapping technique distribution within sample on microscopic scale....
Rogers’s (1999) method of human skeletal sex estimation evaluates morphological variation in four traits the distal humerus. Although this has potential for widespread application forensic and biological anthropological contexts, previous tests have been unable to replicate initial accuracy rate 92%. Additionally, role ancestry not sufficiently explored. This study expands on blind original method, though it differs methodologically from prior studies (Ammer et al. 2019; Falys 2005; Harrison...
