Journal Article
Perri, A., Power, R., Stuijts, I., Heinrich, S., Talamo, S., Hamilton-Dyer, S., & Roberts, C. (2018). Detecting hidden diets and disease: Zoonotic parasites and fish consumption in Mesolithic Ireland. Journal of Archaeological Science, 97, 137-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2018.07.010

Archaeoparasitology is increasingly being used as a tool in archaeological research to investigate relationships between past humans, environments, diets and disease. It can be particularly useful in contexts where parasite eggs preserve, but human a...

Journal Article
Sparacello, V., Rossi, S., Pettitt, P., Roberts, C., Salvatore, J., & Formicola, V. (2018). New insights on Final Epigravettian funerary behaviour at Arene Candide Cave (Western Liguria, Italy) from osteological and spatial analysis of secondary bone deposits. Journal of Anthropological Sciences, 96, 1-24. https://doi.org/10.4436/jass.96003

We gained new insights on Epigravettian funerary behavior at the Arene Candide cave through the osteological and spatial analysis of the burials and human bone accumulations found in the cave during past excavations. Archaeothanathological informatio...

This study summarizes data from 154 paleopathological studies documenting 272 archaeologically recovered individuals exhibiting skeletal or soft tissue evidence of cancer (malignant neoplastic disease) between 1.8 million years ago and 1900 CE. The p... Read More about Taking Stock: A systematic review of archaeological evidence of cancers in human and early hominin remains.

Pica 8: Refining dietary reconstruction through amino acid δ 13 C analysis of tendon collagen and hair keratin (2018)
Journal Article
Mora, A., Pacheco, A., Roberts, C., & Smith, C. (2018). Pica 8: Refining dietary reconstruction through amino acid δ 13 C analysis of tendon collagen and hair keratin. Journal of Archaeological Science, 93, 94-109. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2018.03.002

Stable isotope analysis of archaeological human remains is routinely applied to explore dietary habits and mobility patterns. The isotope information pertaining to the period prior to death may help in identifying locals and non-locals, especially wh...
