A diffusion-adsorption model of uranium uptake by archaeological bone. (1996)
Journal Article
Millard, A., & Hedges, R. (1996). A diffusion-adsorption model of uranium uptake by archaeological bone. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 60, 2139-2152. https://doi.org/10.1016/0016-7037%2896%2900050-6

An argument for the possibility of uranium uptake by buried bone taking place through the adsorption of uranyl species on bone mineral is advanced. In the light of this a diffusion-adsorption model for uranium uptake by buried bone is developed, the... Read More about A diffusion-adsorption model of uranium uptake by archaeological bone..

Palaeoepidemiology, healing and possible treatment of trauma in the Medieval cemetery population of St. Helen-on-the-Walls, York, England (1996)
Journal Article
Grauer, A., & Roberts, C. (1996). Palaeoepidemiology, healing and possible treatment of trauma in the Medieval cemetery population of St. Helen-on-the-Walls, York, England. American journal of physical anthropology, 100(4), 531-544. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28sici%291096-8644%28199608%29100%3A4%3C531%3A%3Aaid-ajpa7%3E3.0.co%3B2-t

Traumatic lesions are commonly found in the archeological record and have potential to provide insight into the lives of past populations. This paper examines patterns of long bone fractures in the British medieval population of St. Helen-on-the-Wall...

A rare, activity-related lesion, the clay-shoveller's fracture, was identified during osteological analysis in three human populations dating from the Roman to the later Medieval period in England, circa fourth to 14th centuries A.D. The prevalence o... Read More about Brief communication : When Adam delved : an activity-related lesion in three human skeletal populations.

A comparative study of the prevalence of maxillary sinusitis in Medieval urban and rural populations in Northern England (1995)
Journal Article
Lewis, M., Roberts, C., & Manchester, K. (1995). A comparative study of the prevalence of maxillary sinusitis in Medieval urban and rural populations in Northern England. American journal of physical anthropology, 98(4), 497-506. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.1330980409

Six hundred sixty-three Medieval individuals from Wharram Percy, a rural settlement in the Yorkshire Wolds, and 1,042 individuals from St. Helen-on-the-Walls, a poor parish in the Medieval city of York, were examined in order to test the hypothesis t...

The role of the environment in uranium uptake by buried bone. (1995)
Journal Article
Millard, A., & Hedges, R. (1995). The role of the environment in uranium uptake by buried bone. Journal of Archaeological Science, 22, 239-250. https://doi.org/10.1006/jasc.1995.0025

Previous studies by a number of workers have shown that uranium is inhomogeneously distributed in excavated bones. It has been suggested that the higher concentrations of uranium found towards the outside of some bones may indicate that the uranium h...

Bones and groundwater: towards the modelling of diagenetic processes. (1995)
Journal Article
Hedges, R., & Millard, A. (1995). Bones and groundwater: towards the modelling of diagenetic processes. Journal of Archaeological Science, 22, 155-164. https://doi.org/10.1006/jasc.1995.0017

This paper develops a theory for describing those diagenetic changes in bone which involve its interaction with groundwater. Three main processes are considered, as examples of such changes; namely the uptake of uranium, the dissolution of bone, and...

Measurements and relationships of diagenetically altered bone from three archaeological sites. (1995)
Journal Article
Hedges, R., Millard, A., & Pike, A. (1995). Measurements and relationships of diagenetically altered bone from three archaeological sites. Journal of Archaeological Science, 22, 201-209. https://doi.org/10.1006/jasc.1995.0022

Four diagenetic parameters have been chosen to represent the state of diagenesis of bone buried on archaeological sites. They are: histological preservation, protein content, crystallinity, and porosity. How these parameters are measured is described...
