An integrative skeletal and paleogenomic analysis of stature variation suggests...
Marciniak, Stephanie; Bergey, Christina M.; Silva, Ana Maria; Hałuszko, Agata; Furmanek, Mirosław; Veselka, Barbara; Velemínský, PetrHuman culture, biology, and health were shaped dramatically by the onset of agriculture ∼12,000 y B.P. This shift is hypothesized to have resulted in increased individual fitness and population growth as evidenced by archaeological and population genomic data alongside a decline in physiological health as inferred from skeletal remains. Here, we consider osteological and ancient DNA data from the same prehistor...
Integrating buccal and occlusal dental microwear with isotope analyses for a co...
Hernando, Raquel; Gamarra, Beatriz; McCall, Ashley; Cheronet, Olivia; Fernandes, Daniel; Sirak, Kendra; Schmidt, Ryan; Lozano, Marina; Szeniczey, TamásDietary reconstruction is used to make inferences about the subsistence strategies of ancient human populations, but it may also serve as a proxy to characterise their diverse cultural and technological manifestations. Dental microwear and stable isotope analyses have been shown to be successful techniques for paleodietary reconstruction of ancient populations but, despite yielding complementary dietary informa...
A minimally-invasive method for sampling human petrous bones from the cranial b...
Sirak, Kendra A; Fernandes, Daniel M.; Cheronet, Olivia; Novak, Mario; Gamarra, Beatriz; Balassa, Tímea; Bernert, Zsolt; Cséki, Andrea; Dani, JánosAncient DNA (aDNA) research involves invasive and destructive sampling procedures that are often incompatible with anthropological, anatomical, and bioarcheological analyses requiring intact skeletal remains. The osseous labyrinth inside the petrous bone has been shown to yield higher amounts of endogenous DNA than any other skeletal element; however, accessing this labyrinth in cases of a complete or reconstru...
