    • Ancient DNA sequence quality is independent of fish bone weight 

      Atmore, Lane Margaret; Ferrari, Giada; Martinez Garcia, Lourdes; van der Jagt, Inge; Blevis, Rachel; Granado, José; Häberle, Simone; Dierickx, Katrien; Quinlan, Liz M.; Lõugas, Lembi; Makowiecki, Daniel; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Barrett, James Harold; Star, Bastiaan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The field of ancient DNA (aDNA) typically uses between 50 and 200 mg of minimum input weight of bone material for the extraction of DNA from archaeological remains. While laboratory and analysis techniques have focused on ...

    • Heat-induced alteration of glauconitic minerals in the Middle Stone Age levels of Blombos Cave, South Africa: Implications for evaluating site structure and burning events 

      Haaland, Magnus Mathisen; Friesem, David; Miller, Christopher; Henshilwood, Christopher (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)
      In this paper we conduct geochemical and colourimetric measurements of glauconite grains in micromorphological thin sections from the Middle Stone Age site of Blombos Cave, South Africa, to investigate the formation, ...

    • Improving mortality profile analysis in zooarchaeology: a revised zoning for ternary diagrams 

      Discamps, Emmanuel; Sandrine, Costamagno (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06)
      Mortality profiles have figured prominently among tools used by zooarchaeologists to investigate relationships between hominids and prey species. Their analysis and interpretation have been considerably influenced by M.C. ...

    • Klipdrift Shelter, southern Cape, South Africa: preliminary report on the Howiesons Poort layers 

      Henshilwood, Christopher; Van Niekerk, Karen Loise; Wurz, Sarah Jacoba Deborah; Delagnes, Anne; Armitage, Simon; Rifkin, Riaan; Douze, Katja; Keene, Petro; Haaland, Magnus Mathisen; Reynard, Jerome; Discamps, Emmanuel; Mienies, Samantha (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)
      Surveys for archaeological sites in the De Hoop Nature Reserve, southern Cape, South Africa resulted in the discovery of a cave complex comprising two locations, Klipdrift Cave and Klipdrift Shelter. Excavations commenced ...

    • Machine learning ATR-FTIR spectroscopy data for the screening of collagen for ZooMS analysis and mtDNA in archaeological bone 

      Pal Chowdhury, Manasij; Choudhury, Kaustabh Datta; Bouchard, Geneviève Pothier; Riel-Salvatore, Julien; Negrino, Fabio; Benazzi, Stefano; Slimak, Ludovic; Frasier, Brenna; Szabo, Vicki; Harrison, Ramona; Hambrecht, George; Kitchener, Andrew C.; Wogelius, Roy A.; Buckley, Mike (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Faunal remains from archaeological sites allow for the identification of animal species that enables the better understanding of the relationships between humans and animals, not only from their morphological information, ...

    • The preservation of ancient DNA in archaeological fish bone 

      Ferrari, Giada; Cuevas, Angelica; Gondek, Agata; Ballantyne, Rachel; Kersten, Oliver; Palsdottir, Albina Hulda; van der Jagt, Inge; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Ystgaard, Ingrid; Wickler, Stephen; Bigelow, Gerald F; Harland, Jennifer; Nicholson, Rebecca; Orton, David; Clavel, Benoît; Boessenkool, Sanne; Barrett, James H; Star, Bastiaan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The field of ancient DNA is dominated by studies focusing on terrestrial vertebrates. This taxonomic bias limits our understanding of endogenous DNA preservation for species with different bone physiology, such as teleost ...
