A revised method for estimating adult age at death using the auricular surface of ilium has been developed. It is based on existing aging Lovejoy et al. ([1985] Am. J. Phys. Anthropol. 68:15-28), but technique easier to apply, and low levels inter- intraobserver error. The new records age-related stages different features surface, which are then combined provide a composite score from an estimate obtained. Blind tests were carried out known-age skeletal collection Christ Church,...
Domestication of the now-extinct wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, gave rise to two major domestic extant cattle taxa, B. taurus and indicus. While previous genetic studies have shed some light on evolutionary relationships between European aurochs modern cattle, important questions remain unanswered, including phylogenetic status whether gene flow from into early populations occurred, which genomic regions were subject selection processes during after domestication. Here, we address these...
The extinct aurochs ( Bos primigenius ) was a large type of cattle that ranged over almost the whole Eurasian continent. is wild progenitor modern cattle, but it unclear whether European contributed to this process. To provide new insights into demographic history and domestic we have generated high-confidence mitochondrial DNA sequences from 59 archaeological skeletal finds, which were attributed populations based on their chronological date and/or morphology. All pre-Neolithic belonged...
Demography in Archaeology, first published 2006, is a review of current theory and method the reconstruction populations from archaeological data. Starting with summary demographic concepts methods, book examines historical ethnographic sources evidence before addressing methods by which reliable estimates can be made skeletal remains, settlement modern ancient biomolecules. Recent debates palaeodemography are evaluated, new statistical for palaeodemographic explained, notion that past...
The radiological prevalence of Paget's disease bone has been studied in 31 towns Britain. A remarkably localised area high shown Lancashire. Although environmental influences seem dominant the aetiology disease, no hypothesis about cause Lancashire focus can be advanced.
The proposal of the new australopithecine species Australopithecus afarensis has led to a multiplicity hypotheses concerning evolutionary relationships between known Pliocene and Pleistocene hominid species. We use phylogenetic analysis gain perspective on subject. Using 69 traits, we construct series 12 complexes, each with defining polarized morphocline. Four mutually exclusive cladograms are derived from these most parsimonious which implies that Homo habilis A. robustus/boisei more...
Background The derivation of domestic cattle from the extinct wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) has been well-documented by archaeological and genetic studies. Genetic studies point towards Neolithic Near East as centre origin for Bos taurus, with some lines evidence suggesting possible, albeit rare, contributions locally domesticated aurochsen across Eurasia. Inferences these investigations have based largely on analysis partial mitochondrial DNA sequences generated modern animals, limited...
Ancient bone remains are widely utilized when investigating vertebrate biodiversity of past animal populations but often so highly fragmented that the majority specimens cannot be identified to any meaningful taxonomic level. Recently, high‐throughput methods for objective species identification using collagen peptide mass fingerprinting have been created overcome this with added indication they could also offer a means relative ageing through decay measurement. Here we explore both and...
Abstract
Rationale Microfaunal skeletal remains can be sensitive indicators of the contemporary ecosystem in which they are sampled and often recovered owl pellets large numbers. Species identification these obtained using a range morphological criteria established for particular elements, but typically dominated by reliance on cranial characters. However, this induce biases under different environmental taphonomic conditions. The aim research was to develop high‐throughput method objectively...
Proteomic methods are acquiring greater importance in archaeology and palaeontology due to the longevity of proteins skeletal remains. There also developing interests forensic applications, offering potential shed light on post-mortem intervals age at death estimation. However, our understanding intra- interskeletal proteome variations is currently severely limited. Here, we evaluated proteomes obtained from five distinct subsamples different elements buried pig carcasses ascertain extent...
Abstract Despite varied attempts to achieve standardization in traditional techniques and the promotion of some newly developed ones, facial reconstruction remains on threshold between art science. It is point at which science ends medical illustrator takes over that has led most reservations this branch forensic anthropology. The purpose paper demonstrate many are prima facie questionable illustrate possible solutions problems currently being explored by Facial Reconstruction Project...
Ancient Egyptians are thought to have been the only people in Old World who were practising mummification Bronze Age (c. 2200-700 BC). But now a remarkable series of finds from remote Scottish island indicates that Britons performing similar, if less elaborate, practices bodily preservation. Evidence is usually limited narrow range arid or frozen environments which conducive soft tissue Mike Parker Pearson and his team show combination microstructural, contextual AMS 14 C analysis bone...
