Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Locked up within human bone are tantalizing clues concerning the diets consumed by ancient peoples. On the one hand the amounts of certain elementsin bone (strontium, zinc) serve as measures of protein, fiber, and calcium intake. On the other hand, the ratios of carbon isotopes and of nitrogen isotopes provide information on questions of fish vs. meat, herbivore vs. carnivore, or (for animals) browser (shrubs) vs. grazer (grasses). Such information can provide a window on many aspects of prehistoric cultures and can supplement the nonskeletal archaeological record. In addition to these two approaches, the biochemical record in bone from protein and nucleic acids such as DNA serves as a source of nondietary information such as genetic relationships. This volume treats all three subjects.: elemental, isotopic, and biochemical. The foremost experts in the areas provide fundamental descriptions of the techniques, express their concerns over the limitations of the methods, and describe recent applications to archaeological studies.
Download or read book Chemical Analysis of Prehistoric Human Bone from Five Temporally Distinct Populations in Southern Ontario written by Mary Anne Katzenberg and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human and animal bones from four prehistoric and protohistoric Woodland sites in southern Ontario were analysed for a number of chemical elements using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The trace element strontium was the principal element of interest. Quantitative data were also obtained for zirconium, yttrium and rubidium. A subset of human and animal bones was analysed for calcium, phosphorus, silicon, aluminum, iron, manganese, titanium, magnesium and potassium. Soil samples from each site were analysed for all of the aforementioned elements.

This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of human diet brings together reseachers from diverse backgrounds ranging from modern human nutrition and biochemistry to the geochemistry of fossilized bones and teeth. The contributions to this volume grow out of the Fourth Advanced Seminar on Paleodiet and provide a forum for scholars with common interests to discuss the latest advances and interpretations and chart future directions for paleodietry research.
Download or read book Chemical Analysis of Prehistoric Human Bone From Five Temporally Distinct Populations in Southern Ontario written by National Museum of Man (Canada) and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human and animal bone from four prehistoric and protohistoric Woodland sites in southern Ontario was analyzed for strontium, zirconium, yttrium, and rubidium. A subset of human and animal bones was analyzed for calcium, phosphorus, silicon, aluminum, iron, manganese, titanium, magnesium, and potassium. Soil samples from each site were analyzed for all of the above elements. The analyses addressed the feasibility of comparing bone strontium levels from different sites within a given region to make dietary inferences; and, if valid comparisons can be made, the indications of patterns of dietary change for Middle and Late Woodland populations in southern Ontario. The four sites chosen included the Serpent Mounds site, the Fairty ossuary, the Kleinburg ossuary, and the Ossossane ossuary.
Download or read book Ortner s Identification of Pathological Conditions in Human Skeletal Remains written by Jane Buikstra and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 859 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ortner's Identification of Pathological Conditions in Human Skeletal Remains, Third Edition, provides an integrated and comprehensive treatment of the pathological conditions that affect the human skeleton. As ancient skeletal remains can reveal a treasure trove of information to the modern orthopedist, pathologist, forensic anthropologist, and radiologist, this book presents a timely resource. Beautifully illustrated with over 1,100 photographs and drawings, it provides an essential text and material on bone pathology, thus helping improve the diagnostic ability of those interested in human dry bone pathology. Presents a comprehensive review of the skeletal diseases encountered in archaeological human remains Includes more than 1100 photographs and line drawings illustrating skeletal diseases, including both microscopic and gross features Based on extensive research on skeletal paleopathology in many countries Reviews important theoretical issues on how to interpret evidence of skeletal disease in archaeological human populations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Indispensable Resource on Advanced Methods of Analysis of Human Skeletal and Dental Remains in Archaeological and Forensic Contexts Now in its third edition, Biological Anthropology of the Human Skeleton has become a key reference for bioarchaeologists, human osteologists, and paleopathologists throughout the world. It builds upon basic skills to provide the foundation for advanced scientific analyses of human skeletal remains in cultural, archaeological, and theoretical contexts. This new edition features updated coverage of topics including histomorphometry, dental morphology, stable isotope methods, and ancient DNA, as well as a number of new chapters on paleopathology. It also covers bioarchaeological ethics, taphonomy and the nature of archaeological assemblages, biomechanical analyses of archaeological human skeletons, and more. Fully updated and revised with new material written by leading researchers in the field Includes many case studies to demonstrate application of methods of analysis Offers valuable information on contexts, methods, applications, promises, and pitfalls Covering the latest advanced methods and techniques for analyzing skeletal and dental remains from archaeological discoveries, Biological Anthropology of the Human Skeleton is a trusted text for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in human osteology, bioarchaeology, and paleopathology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primarily for physical anthropologists and archaeologists, this volume defines many of the theoretical and methodological problems now facing trace element and stable isotopy researchers. In suggesting new and ambitious goals for research, its nine essays advocate a return to the fundamentals of ancient bone chemistry. Case studies highlight the various applications, interpretive difficulties, and controversies of elemental and isotopic analysis. A particularly noteworthy feature of the volume is the chapter on the application of elemental analysis to human hair, as opposed to the usual material, bone.
