Radiocarbon offsets and old world chronology as relevant to Mesopotamia, Egypt, Anatolia and Thera (Santorini)
Sturt W. Manning, Lukas Wacker, Ulf Büntgen, Christopher Bronk Ramsey, Michael W. Dee, Bernd Kromer, Brita Lorentzen, Willy Tegel
Aug 17, 2020
Abstract: The new IntCal20 radiocarbon record continues decades of successful practice by employing one calibration curve as an approximation for different regions across the hemisphere. Here we investigate three radiocarbon...
Assessing the degradation of ancient milk proteins through site-specific deamidation patterns
Abigail Ramsøe, Mia Crispin, Meaghan Mackie, Krista McGrath, Roman Fischer, Beatrice Demarchi, Matthew J. Collins, Jessica Hendy, Camilla Speller
Apr 08, 2021
Abstract: The origins, prevalence and nature of dairying have been long debated by archaeologists. Within the last decade, new advances in high-resolution mass spectrometry have allowed for the direct detection of milk proteins...
Dual mode imaging in mid infrared with thermal signal reconstruction for innovative diagnostics of the "Monocromo" by Leonardo da Vinci.
Dual mode imaging in the mid infrared band, a joint use of thermography and quasi-thermal reflectography, was recently proposed as a full field diagnostic tool in cultural heritage. Here we discuss for the first time, to the...
Localized management of non-indigenous animal domesticates in Northwestern China during the Bronze Age
Petra Vaiglova, Rachel E. B. Reid, Emma Lightfoot, Suzanne E. Pilaar Birch, Hui Wang, Guoke Chen, Shuicheng Li, Martin Jones, Xinyi Liu
Aug 03, 2021
Abstract: The movements of ancient crop and animal domesticates across prehistoric Eurasia are well-documented in the archaeological record. What is less well understood are the precise mechanisms that farmers and herders...

Retroviral analysis reveals the ancient origin of Kihnu native sheep in Estonia
Eve Rannamäe, Urmas Saarma, Anneli Ärmpalu-Idvand, Matthew D. Teasdale, Camilla Speller
Oct 18, 2021
Abstract: Native animal breeds constitute an invaluable pool of genetic resources in a changing environment. Discovering native breeds and safeguarding their genetic diversity through specific conservation programs is therefore...
Approximate Bayesian Computation of radiocarbon and paleoenvironmental record shows population resilience on Rapa Nui (Easter Island)
Abstract: Examining how past human populations responded to environmental and climatic changes is a central focus of the historical sciences. The use of summed probability distributions (SPD) of radiocarbon dates as a proxy for...
