Nine human remains were recovered from Shiraho-Saonetabaru Cave on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, between 2007 and 2009. Six of the nine samples produced well-preserved biogenic collagen, which was submitted to radiocarbon dating by accelerator mass spectrometry. Three (Nos. 2, 4, 8) fossil chamber dated 16 20 ka BP, can clearly be assigned Late Pleistocene. One animal bone same treated measured for independently also great antiquity (c. 12 BP). These dates are first concrete...
Camelids were domesticated in the Andean highlands, such as puna habitat, and dispersed into lowland areas northern Central Andes. As camelids a particular region would have had greater economic benefit than visiting- or hunted wild camelids, it is important to reconstruct dispersal of camelid husbandry from its initial site throughout ancient civilisation. We carried out multi-isotope analyses animal remains recovered Pacopampa investigate nature pastoralism utilisation. Strontium oxygen...
Over 30 funerary bundles were excavated in 2005 from a large chamber tomb at the prehispanic religious center of Pachacamac on central coast Peru. The largest and most elaborate bundle was found innermost part tomb, tightly surrounded by other bundles. We hypothesized that this contained deceased leader social group whose members collectively cared for their ancestor's (for example, rewrapping it) continued to use inter individuals subsequent generations. tested hypothesis dating samples...
The application of stable isotope analyses allows a diachronic characterisation species habitat and feeding behaviour, information utmost importance for zooarchaeological research. In South America, the former distribution guanaco ( Lama guanicoe) encompassed much larger territory than current one. Within Argentinean Great Chaco, only small native population persists in Northwestern Córdoba province, Central Argentina, where it was once widely distributed. this paper, we present first set...
ABSTRACT The Ongamira Valley (Córdoba, Argentina) shows a persistent occupational history of its territory. Even one the first Argentinian radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates was calculated in this valley; for 70 years, chronology based on relative (stratigraphy and cultural content). For reason, since 2010 C dating program has been developed focusing eight 60 sites identified so far valley. This work reports outcomes with 27 new dates. These data have related to characteristics material culture, use...
Maize (Zea mays) was an important staple and ceremonial food in the pre-Columbian Andean world. Previous researchers have studied maize agriculture early ancient society by examining macro- microbotanical remains. However, isotope analyses of human remains shown that not a primary resource during Formative Period (1800–1 cal BC). Although few studies suggested consumed this period, we know little about how dietary role differed across it changed over time. This study measures carbon nitrogen...
Little is known about the precise date of emergence decapitation in a ritual context and presence systematic postmortem modification patterns ancient Central Andes. The ceremonial complex at Pacopampa northern Peruvian highlands provides early osteological evidence six individuals dating to latter half Late–Final Formative Periods (500–50 BC) Early Cajamarca Period (AD 200–450). Based on evidence, when taken together with archaeological settings settlement patterns, researchers can be...
To study the effect of ultrafiltration on radiocarbon ages relatively poorly preserved bones in Japan, we analyzed 14 C dates high-molecular-weight (HMW) gelatin samples and compared them with those other extracted organic fractions, unfiltered from NaOH-treated or NaOH-untreated collagen, XAD-purified hydrolysates animal fossil (∼4600 BP; yield 2–4%) Awazu underwater archaeological site, Shiga, Japan. NaOH-treated, gelatins showed statistically similar to HMW gelatins. The were oldest wood...
