Modelling prehistoric populations: the case of Neolithic Brittany (2001)
Journal Article
Scarre, C. (2001). Modelling prehistoric populations: the case of Neolithic Brittany. Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 20(3), 285-313. https://doi.org/10.1006/jaar.2001.0382

The study of prehistoric demography draws inevitably on evidence both imperfect and incomplete, yet is essential for a satisfactory understanding of past communities. It is particularly valuable in addressing controversial questions such as the natur... Read More about Modelling prehistoric populations: the case of Neolithic Brittany.

Dating Women and Becoming Farmers: New Palaeodietary and AMS Dating Evidence from the Breton Mesolithic Cemeteries of Téviec and Hoëdic (2001)
Journal Article
Schulting, R., & Richards, M. (2001). Dating Women and Becoming Farmers: New Palaeodietary and AMS Dating Evidence from the Breton Mesolithic Cemeteries of Téviec and Hoëdic. Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 20(3), 314-344. https://doi.org/10.1006/jaar.2000.0370

This paper presents and discusses the results of a palaeodietary and AMS dating study of burials from the Mesolithic sites of Téviec and Hoëdic, Brittany, France. In common with other Mesolithic coastal populations in Europe, isotopic analysis demons...

Neolithic Diet at the Brochtorff Circle, Malta (2001)
Journal Article
Richards, M., Hedges, R., Walton, I., Stoddart, S., & Malone, C. (2001). Neolithic Diet at the Brochtorff Circle, Malta. European Journal of Archaeology, 4(2), 253-262. https://doi.org/10.1177/146195710100400206

From Neolithic Malta, there is evidence of increasing population size accompanied by increasingly elaborate material culture, including the famous megalithic architecture. Stoddart et al. (1993) argued that social tensions and controls increased as f... Read More about Neolithic Diet at the Brochtorff Circle, Malta.

Mycolic acids and ancient DNA confirm an osteological diagnosis of tuberculosis (2001)
Journal Article
Gernaey, A., Minnikin, D., Copley, M., Dixon, R., Middleton, J., & Roberts, C. (2001). Mycolic acids and ancient DNA confirm an osteological diagnosis of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, 81(4), 259-265. https://doi.org/10.1054/tube.2001.0295

Setting: The underlying trends in the past epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) are obscure, requiring recourse to the archaeological record. It would therefore be of value to develop methods for reliable TB diagnosis in ancient populations. Objective:...

New evidence of Late Glacial cereal cultivation at Abu Hureyra on the Euphrates (2001)
Journal Article
Hillman, G., Hedges, R., Moore, A., Colledge, S., & Pettitt, P. (2001). New evidence of Late Glacial cereal cultivation at Abu Hureyra on the Euphrates. Holocene, 11(4), 383-393. https://doi.org/10.1191/095968301678302823

Hitherto, the earliest archaeological finds of domestic cereals in southwestern Asia have involved wheats and barleys dating from the beginning of the Holocene, 11–12000 calendar years ago. New evidence from the site of Abu Hureyra suggests that syst... Read More about New evidence of Late Glacial cereal cultivation at Abu Hureyra on the Euphrates.

A picture of tuberculosis in young Portuguese people in the early 20th century: A multidisciplinary study of the skeletal and historical evidence (2001)
Journal Article
Santos, A., & Roberts, C. (2001). A picture of tuberculosis in young Portuguese people in the early 20th century: A multidisciplinary study of the skeletal and historical evidence. American journal of physical anthropology, 115(1), 38-49. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.1054

The aim of this study was to examine the evidence, and consider the differential diagnosis, for tuberculosis (TB) in juvenile individuals from early 20th century documented skeletons. There are 66 male and female juvenile individuals in the Coimbra I...

Stable isotope evidence for increasing dietary breadth in the European mid-Upper Paleolithic (2001)
Journal Article
Richards, M., Pettitt, P., Stiner, M., & Trinkaus, E. (2001). Stable isotope evidence for increasing dietary breadth in the European mid-Upper Paleolithic. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 98(11), 6528-6532. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.111155298

New carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values for human remains dating to the mid-Upper Paleolithic in Europe indicate significant amounts of aquatic (fish, mollusks, and/or birds) foods in some of their diets. Most of this evidence points to exploit... Read More about Stable isotope evidence for increasing dietary breadth in the European mid-Upper Paleolithic.
