The aim of this paper is to analyze the phenomenon of burials in urban areas in North Africam in partuckar of Carthage during the Vandal and the Byzantine period. The analysis seems to show that in the Vandal period the very few recorded tombs were r... Read More about L’inumazione in 'spazio urbano' a Cartagine tra V e VII secolo D.C.

Stable Isotope Evidence of Diet at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey (2003)
Journal Article
Richards, M., Pearson, J., Molleson, T., Russell, N., & Martin, L. (2003). Stable Isotope Evidence of Diet at Neolithic Çatalhöyük, Turkey. Journal of Archaeological Science, 30(1), 67-76. https://doi.org/10.1006/jasc.2001.0825

We report here new evidence for human subsistence from stable isotope analysis of humans and fauna from Catalhöyük. The analyses complement other lines of subsistence evidence, and indicate that, contrary to the original excavator James Mellaart's as...

Long mounds and megalithic origins in western France: recent excavations at Prissé-la-Charrière (2003)
Journal Article
Scarre, C., Laporte, L., & Joussaume, R. (2003). Long mounds and megalithic origins in western France: recent excavations at Prissé-la-Charrière. Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 69, 235-251

The ancestry of the long mound has long been a key focus in debates on the origins of monumental and megalithic architectures in western France. Typological schemes and absolute dates have alike been invoked in support of different models of monument...

Visual culture in prehistoric South-East Italy (2003)
Journal Article
Skeates, R. (2003). Visual culture in prehistoric South-East Italy. Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 68, 165-83

Using the approach of visual culture, which highlights the embeddedness of art in dynamic human processes, this paper examines the prehistoric archaeology of the Lecce province in south-east Italy, in order to provide a history of successive visual c...

A brief review of the archaeological evidence for Palaeolithic and Neolithic subsistence (2002)
Journal Article
Richards, M. (2002). A brief review of the archaeological evidence for Palaeolithic and Neolithic subsistence. European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 56(12), 1270-1278. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.ejcn.1601646

Knowledge of our ancestor's diets is becoming increasingly important in evolutionary medicine, as researchers have argued that we have evolved to specific type of 'Palaeolithic' diet, and many modern nutritional disorders relate to the mismatch betwe...

The Sabinensis Ager Revisited: A Field Survey in the Sabina Tiberina (2002)
Journal Article
Di Giuseppe, H., Sansoni, M., Williams, J., & Witcher, R. (2002). The Sabinensis Ager Revisited: A Field Survey in the Sabina Tiberina. Papers of the British School at Rome, 70, 99-150

This paper presents the results of a small field survey in the Sabina Tiberina, to the southwest of the ancient town of Cures Sabini, north of Rome. The choice of study area and objectives respond to specific research problems identified by the Briti... Read More about The Sabinensis Ager Revisited: A Field Survey in the Sabina Tiberina.

Brief communication: Molecular analysis of the Kwäday Dän Ts'finchi ancient remains found in a glacier in Canada (2002)
Journal Article
Monsalve, M., Stone, A., Lewis, C., Rempel, A., Richards, M., Straathof, S., & Devine, D. (2002). Brief communication: Molecular analysis of the Kwäday Dän Ts'finchi ancient remains found in a glacier in Canada. American journal of physical anthropology, 119(3), 288-291. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.10116

DNA was extracted from the frozen remains of a man found in the northwest corner of British Columbia, Canada, in 1999. His clothing was radiocarbon-dated at ca. 550 years old. Nitrogen and carbon content in whole bone and collagen-type residue extrac...

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of bone and teeth reflect weaning age at the medieval Wharram Percy Site, Yorkshire, U.K (2002)
Journal Article
Richards, M., Mays, S., & Fuller, B. (2002). Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of bone and teeth reflect weaning age at the medieval Wharram Percy Site, Yorkshire, U.K. American journal of physical anthropology, 119(3), 205-210. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.10124

We report on the measurements of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of both bone and teeth from a single site and population (Medieval Wharram Percy), undertaken to explore variations due to weaning in a past population. There have been a number of... Read More about Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of bone and teeth reflect weaning age at the medieval Wharram Percy Site, Yorkshire, U.K.

A Bayesian approach to the estimation of the age of humans from tooth development and wear (2002)
Journal Article
Millard, A., & Gowland, R. (2002). A Bayesian approach to the estimation of the age of humans from tooth development and wear. Archeologia e calcolatori (Testo stampato), 13, 197-210

Examination of dental development is considered to be an accurate method of ageing non-adults, but ageing adults from dental wear is much less accurate. Miles’ method is generally accepted to be the best way we have to derive estimates of tooth-wear...

Iron Age cultigen?: experimental return rates for fat hen (Chenopodium album L.) (2002)
Journal Article
Stokes, P., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2002). Iron Age cultigen?: experimental return rates for fat hen (Chenopodium album L.). Environmental Archaeology, 7, 95-99

Archaeological finds of fat hen (Chenopodium album L.) from later prehistoric sites in Europe indicate that the plant was deliberately collected, perhaps even cultivated. Experiments are described involving the collection and processing of the plant,... Read More about Iron Age cultigen?: experimental return rates for fat hen (Chenopodium album L.).

Derivation and application of a Food Utility Index (FUI) for European wild boar (Sus scrofa L.) (2002)
Journal Article
Rowley-Conwy, P., Halstead, P., & Collins, P. (2002). Derivation and application of a Food Utility Index (FUI) for European wild boar (Sus scrofa L.). Environmental Archaeology, 7, 77-87

A Food Utility Index (FUI) is presented for European wild boar (Sus scrofa L.), derived from the experimental butchery of two individuals of differing ages. The results differ from FUIs produced for other species because of the different conformation...
