Expanding the plain: Using archaeobotany to examine adaptation to the 5.2 kya climate change event during the Anatolian Late Chalcolithic at Çadır Höyük Open
This study examines how the population at Çadır Höyük on the north central Anatolian plateau modified agricultural and fuel use practices in response to rapid social and environmental change between 3600 and 2900 BCE (Late Chalcolithic and…

Selective impairment in dendritic cell function and altered antigen-specific CD8 + T-cell responses in diet-induced obese mice infected with influenza virus Open
There is a clear link between obesity and metabolic disorders; however, little is known about the effect of obesity on immune function, particularly during an infection. We have previously reported that diet-induced obese mice are more sus…

The burning issue of dung in archaeobotanical samples: a case-study integrating macro-botanical remains, dung spherulites, and phytoliths to assess sample origin and fuel use at Tell Zeidan, Syria Open
Since Naomi Miller's first discussion of dung fuel within macro-botanical samples from Malyan, Iran, considerations of dung fuel across Southwest Asia have become commonplace, yet archaeobotanists remain divided on: (1) the extent to which…
