A Recording Method for Sixteen Nonadult Muscle Entheses Open
Bioarchaeology lacks a system for recording the morphology of muscle and ligament attachment sites, called entheses, in growing individuals. Such information is useful in investigating factors that affect bone growth and development, inclu…

The evolution of dog diet and foraging: Insights from archaeological canids in Siberia Open
Research on the evolution of dog foraging and diet has largely focused on scavenging during their initial domestication and genetic adaptations to starch-rich food environments following the advent of agriculture. The Siberian archaeologic…

Isotopic reconstruction of short to absent breastfeeding in a 19th century rural Dutch community Open
Artificial feeding of young infants is considered a modern phenomenon. However, historical sources note its practice in some past European populations. This research explores factors that contributed to a short to absent period of breastfe…

Diet and urbanisation in medieval Holland. Studying dietary change through carious lesions and stable isotope analysis Open
In the late medieval period, Holland experienced substantial socio‐economic change. While the region was largely undeveloped prior to 1200 CE, the period after was characterised by extensive urbanisation and flourishing international trade…

The vocal tract as a time machine: inferences about past speech and language from the anatomy of the speech organs Open
While speech and language do not fossilize, they still leave traces that can be extracted and interpreted. Here, we suggest that the shape of the hard structures of the vocal tract may also allow inferences about the speech of long-gone hu…
