Abstract Objectives Recent developments in incremental dentine analysis allowing increased temporal resolution for tissues formed during the first 1,000 days of life have cast doubt on veracity weaning studies using bone collagen carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen 15 N) isotope ratio data from infants. Here, we compare published well‐preserved Anglo‐Saxon site Raunds Furnells, England, with co‐forming same individuals, investigate relationship these juvenile stature. The high‐resolution recorded...
A survey was administered to 153 sixth through twelfth graders. It included items on videogame play plus self-esteem and aggression scales. Teachers also rated the children aggression. Amount of correlated with not self-esteem. About 4796 sample said some videogames might foster anger or Among other results evidence that boys more than girls are aggressive girls. Self-esteem were positively teacher ratings but negatively self-ratings.
ABSTRACT This study investigated stable‐isotope ratio evidence of weaning for the late Anglo‐Saxon population Raunds Furnells, Northamptonshire, UK. δ 15 N and 13 C values in rib collagen were obtained individuals different ages to assess age infants within population. A peak at about 2‐year‐old, followed by a decline until three, indicates change diet that age. nitrogen isotope ratios corresponds with mortality profile from site, as well archaeological documentary on attitudes towards...

Abstract Although evaluating developmental stress is challenging, it critical to understanding phenotypic adaptation and differentials in morbidity mortality related spatiotemporal variation environmental cultural factors. This paper presents a new, reproducible, reliable geometric morphometric (GM) protocol through which stress‐induced deviations symmetry, known as fluctuating asymmetry (FA), can be robustly quantified. A case study, maternally mediated early‐life human skeletal remains...
Abstract Objectives Isotope ratio analyses of dentine collagen were used to characterize short‐term changes in physiological status (both dietary and biological stress) across the life course children afforded special funerary treatment. Materials methods Temporal sequences δ 15 N 13 C isotope profiles for incrementally forming obtained from deciduous teeth 86 four early‐medieval English cemeteries. Thirty‐one interred child‐specific burial clusters, remainder alongside adults other areas...
ABSTRACT Objectives This paper explores conflicting perspectives on the adaptive significance of phenotypic plasticity during fetal and early postnatal development impact that stressors experienced this critical early‐life period have later‐life morbidity mortality risk. Methods The sample ( n = 216) comprised archeologically‐recovered human skeletons. A geometric morphometric (GM) method was employed to evaluate first permanent molar (M1) fluctuating asymmetry (FA) provide a proxy for...
Abstract This study investigates human diet and mobility to understand the socio-economic organisation of a Late Roman community in Liguria, transitional region between Italy Gaul, during 3rd–5th century CE. By combining archaeological, historical, osteological, isotopic data with novel Bayesian modelling multi-isotope (collagen δ 13 C, 15 N, bioapatite 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) from animal skeletal remains, as well modern plant samples, we provide new insights into this hitherto under-researched...
Archaeology has yet to capitalise on the opportunities offered by bioarchaeological approaches examine impact of 11th-century AD Norman Conquest England. This study utilises an integrated multiproxy analytical approach identify and explain changes continuities in diet foodways between 10th 13th centuries city Oxford, UK. The integration organic residue analysis ceramics, carbon (δ13C) nitrogen (δ15N) isotope human animal bones, incremental δ13C δ15N from tooth dentine palaeopathological...
This study investigated the use of sexually dimorphic metrics first permanent maxillary molar (M1 ) to determine sex in adult and immature individuals within between populations.Ten M1 dimensions were measured 91 adults (19-55 years) 58 immatures (5-18 from two English populations, one documented (Spitalfields crypt) another morphologically-assigned (Black Gate). Preliminary statistical analysis was undertaken explore bilateral differences variation by age sex, followed multivariate analyses...
Abstract Food is often one of the most distinctive expressions social, religious, cultural or ethnic groups. However, archaeological identification specific religious dietary practices, including Jewish tradition keeping kosher , associated with ritual food practices and taboos, very rare. This arguably oldest known diets across world and, for an observant Jew, maintaining laws (known as Kashruth) a fundamental part everyday life. Recent excavations in early medieval Oxford quarter yielded...
Summary Chest burials, in which the body is interred a wooden chest with hinged lid, are one of most characteristic funerary practices middle Anglo‐Saxon period northern England. The majority dated to between seventh and ninth centuries, found at 19 different sites located within contemporary early medieval kingdom Northumbria. collation corpus examination their form, context identities individuals they were afforded to, have revealed that these interments seem been made reused pieces...
<section class="abstract"> <strong>Summary.</strong> Pregnant mice were injected subcutaneously with diethylstilboestrol (DES: 10 μg/kg body weight in 0·1 ml corn oil) or oil alone on Day 15 16 of gestation (Day 1 = day copulatory plug) and allowed to give birth. Female progeny from control DES-exposed animals superovulated exogenous gonadotrophins at 6–8 weeks age. In-vivo results indicated that the total number ovulated ova, 2-cell embryos blastocysts significantly increased but there was...
Studies of English medieval funerary practice have paid limited attention to the curation human remains in charnel houses. Yet analysis architectural, archaeological and documentary evidence, including antiquarian accounts, suggests that charnelling was more widespread England than has hitherto been appreciated, with many houses dismantled at sixteenth-century Reformation. The survival a house its Rothwell, Northamptonshire permits unique opportunity analyse parish church. Employing...
The use of a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) has become popular technique for the acquisition 3D scenes in fields cultural heritage and archaeology. In this study, semi-automatic reconstruction is presented to convert point clouds that are produced, which often contain noise or missing data, into set triangle meshes. applied medieval charnel chapel. To reduce computational complexity reconstruction, cloud first segmented several components guided by geometric structure scene. Landmarks...
