Dietary Evidence from Central Asian Neanderthals: a Combined Isotope and Plant Microremains Approach at Chagyrskaya Cave (Altai, Russia)
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Neanderthals are known primarily from their habitation of Western Eurasia, but they also populated large expanses of Northern Asia for thousands of years. Owing to a sparse archaeological record, relatively little is known ...
Using Y-chromosome capture enrichment to resolve haplogroup H2 shows new evidence for a two-path Neolithic expansion to Western Europe
(Nature, 2021-07-22)
Uniparentally-inherited markers on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the non-recombining regions of the Y chromosome (NRY), have been used for the past 30years to investigate the history of humans from a maternal and paternal ...
CoproID predicts the source of coprolites and paleofeces using microbiome composition and host DNA content
(2020-04-17)
Shotgun metagenomics applied to archaeological feces (paleofeces) can bring new insights into the composition and functions of human and animal gut microbiota from the past. However, paleofeces often undergo physical ...
Effect Of Nb And Cu On The Crystallization Behavior Of Understoichiometric Nd–Fe–B Alloys
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2017-01-11)
In this work, we present a complete study of the influence of Nb and Cu addition on the crystallization behavior of Nd-lean Nd-Fe-B melt-spun alloys. Alloys with compositions Nd10-x-yFe84B6NbxCuy (x = 1, y = 0 and x = 0.5, ...
Microwear and isotopic analyses on cave bear remains from Toll Cave reveal both short-term and long-term dietary habits
(Nature Publishing, 2019-04-05)
Dietary habits of the extinct Ursus spelaeus have always been a controversial topic in paleontological studies. In this work, we investigate carbon and nitrogen values in the bone collagen and dental microwear of U. spelaeus ...
The Efficacy of Whole Human Genome Capture on Ancient Dental Calculus and Dentin
(Wiley, 2019-03)
Objectives Dental calculus is among the richest known sources of ancient DNA in the archaeological record. Although most DNA within calculus is microbial, it has been shown to contain sufficient human DNA for the targeted ...
Genomic transformation and social organization during the Copper Age-Bronze Age transition in southern Iberia
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-11)
[EN]The emerging Bronze Age (BA) of southeastern Iberia saw marked social changes. Late Copper Age (CA) settlements were abandoned in favor of hilltop sites, and collective graves were largely replaced by single or double ...
The Evolution and Changing Ecology of the African Hominid Oral Microbiome
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021-05-18)
The oral microbiome plays key roles in human biology, health, and disease, but little is known about the global diversity, variation, or evolution of this microbial community. To better understand the evolution and changing ...
Archaeometric evidence for the earliest exploitation of lignite from the bronze age Eastern Mediterranean
(Nature Research, 2021-12-17)
[EN] This paper presents the earliest evidence for the exploitation of lignite (brown coal) in Europe and sheds new light on the use of combustion fuel sources in the 2nd millennium BCE Eastern Mediterranean. We applied ...
