This paper reviews the ultrastructure and chemistry of fish bone, with an emphasis on
zooarchaeology and stable isotope analysis. On the basis of the chemical composition of the …

Although the reliability of 14C dates of bone has increased greatly since AMS methods
permitted better pretreatment on smaller samples, most old, badly contaminated or severely …

We assembled genome-wide data from 16 prehistoric Africans. We show that the anciently
divergent lineage that comprises the primary ancestry of the southern African San had a …

The origins of the First Americans remain contentious. Although Native Americans seem to
be genetically most closely related to east Asians,,, there is no consensus with regard to …

The quality of bone collagen extracts is central to the14C dating and isotope palaeodietary
analysis of bone. The intactness and purity of the extracted gelatin (“collagen”) is strongly …

The Archaeology of Human Bones provides an up to date account of the analysis of human
skeletal remains from archaeological sites, introducing students to the anatomy of bones …

Stable isotope analysis is a well‐established tool for studying past human remains.
Applications have grown exponentially in the past 15 years, with studies focusing on living …

This volume is a major revision and expansion of Taylor's seminal book Radiocarbon
Dating: An Archaeological Perspective. It covers the major advances and accomplishments …

Ancient Native American ancestors (Clovis) have been interpreted as either specialized
megafauna hunters or generalist foragers. Supporting data are typically indirect (toolkits …

The Clovis complex is considered to be the oldest unequivocal evidence of humans in the
Americas, dating between 11,500 and 10,900 radiocarbon years before the present (14C yr …
