Pre-Lessepsian isotopic niche spaces: using paleoecological proxies to assess the impact of ongoing bioinvasions on fishes in the eastern Mediterranean Sea Open
Ongoing bioinvasions of Lessepsian species via the Suez Canal have profoundly altered marine coastal ecosystems in the eastern Mediterranean. In response to these Lessepsian migrations, some indigenous fishes have been observed to have wid…

Finding the right plaice at the right time: Multi‐molecular analysis of flatfish reveals historical catch habitats Open
Flatfish are ecologically diverse species that commonly occur in marine environments, but also in estuarine and riverine habitats. This complicates the examination of the potential role of flatfish in the ‘marine fish event horizon’, an ec…

Between Life and Death: stable isotopes and their reflection in funerary practice at the early Neolithic cemetery Mulhouse-Est, Alsace Open
Building on previous research, this study reports new stable dietary isotope results in conjunction with existing samples from the individuals buried at Mulhouse-Est. This was an early Neolithic cemetery located in Alsace and consisted of …

Stable isotope analyses of amino acids reveal the importance of aquatic resources to Mediterranean coastal hunter–gatherers Open
Determining the degree to which humans relied on coastal resources in the past is key for understanding long-term social and economic development, as well as for assessing human health and anthropogenic impacts on the environment. Prehisto…

Histological and stable isotope analysis of archeological bones from St. Rombout's cemetery (Mechelen, Belgium): Intrasite, intraindividual, and intrabone variability Open
This study compares histological preservation in archeological bones from different burial types to unravel the histotaphonomy‐to‐funerary practices relationship. Αn intraskeletal approach is also adopted to explore intraindividual (inner …

High-resolution dietary reconstruction of victims of the 79 CE Vesuvius eruption at Herculaneum by compound-specific isotope analysis. Open
The remains of those who perished at Herculaneum in 79 CE offer a unique opportunity to examine lifeways across an ancient community who lived and died together. Historical sources often allude to differential access to foodstuffs across R…

The adoption of pottery on Kodiak Island: Insights from organic residue analysis Open
Pottery technology, originating in Northeast Asia, appeared in Alaska some 2800 years ago. It spread swiftly along Alaska’s coastline but was not adopted on Kodiak Island until around 500 cal BP, as part of the Koniag tradition. While in t…
