Journal Article
Seghi, F., Lugli, F., James, H. F., Löffelmann, T., Armaroli, E., Vazzana, A., Cipriani, A., Snoeck, C., & Benazzi, S. (2024). Strontium isotopes and cremation: Investigating mobility patterns in the Roman city of Mutina (north-eastern Italy).

Cremation was a very common ritual in ancient Roman funerary traditions. However, the study of cremated human remains has always been complex and challenging, which has often led to an imbalance in data recording between inhumations and cremations. I...

Marine Mammal Science, Article e13168. https://doi.org/10.1111/mms.13168

The use of biological samples from museum and/or archive collections is common in stable isotope research, particularly for marine mammals. Yet, the temporal stability of isotopic values across various tissue types and the influence of different pres...

It has been just over 10 years since the first fossils attributed to Homo naledi were recovered from the Rising Star Cave system in South Africa's Cradle of Humankind. The hominin fossil evidence for H. naledi displays a distinctive combination of pr... Read More about What we know and do not know after the first decade of Homo naledi..

Mineral abrasion experiments at Mars relevant temperatures (2024)
Journal Article
Edgar, J., Gould, J., Badreshany, K., Graham, S., & Telling, J. (2024). Mineral abrasion experiments at Mars relevant temperatures. Icarus, 422, Article 116238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2024.116238

The aeolian transport of sand generates fine material through abrasion. On Mars this process occurs at lower temperatures than on Earth, however, there is minimal data on the effects of temperature on aeolian abrasion rates. Here, results are reporte...

Further investigation into the impact of manuring on stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen isotope (δ15N) values in pulses: a four-year experiment examining Celtic bean (Vicia faba). Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 16(8), Article 130. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12520-024-02045-x

Plant stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope values can be used to directly investigate crop husbandry practices such as manuring; a key variable in understanding the scale and intensity of past farming practices. We present new results fro...

If there is a category of war victims for whom the identification process has been and still remains an extremely challenging issue, it is the soldiers of World War One. There are various reasons for this, including unreliable identity tags, the unpr...
