ABSTRACT Pastoralism in Central Asia directed the utilization of natural resources, yet information on livestock management strategies remain scarce. Carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope analyses of domesticated sheep teeth are used to identify animal management strategies. Sheep from Kent exhibit an inverserelationship where low δ18O values coincide with high δ13C values, consistent with the foddering of caprines in the winter for this location which occursalongside evidence for an extended lambing season. At the high altitude encampment of Turgen, Bronze Age sheep exhibit low δ18O values that coincide withhigh δ13C values, suggesting that livestock were moved to low altitude pastures in the winter months. Iron Age sheep sequences also have an inverserelationship, where low δ18O values coincide with high δ13C values, yet high δ13C values in the winter suggest that livestock were foddered. Our findingsindicate variation in livestock management strategies with distinct adaptations to local ecologies.
中亚的畜牧业指导着自然资源的利用,但有关畜牧业管理策略的信息仍然很少。驯化羊牙齿的碳(δ13C)和氧(δ18O)同位素分析用于确定动物管理策略。肯特郡的绵羊表现出低δ18O值与高δ13C值的反相关关系,这与该地区冬季的山羊饲料一致,同时也有证据表明产羔季节延长。在Turgen的高海拔营地,青铜时代的羊表现出低δ18O值,与高δ13C值一致,表明牲畜在冬季被转移到低海拔牧场。铁器时代的羊序列也具有反比关系,低δ18O值与高δ13C值重合,但冬季的高δ13C值表明牲畜有饲料。我们的研究结果表明,牲畜管理策略的差异与当地生态的不同适应。

ABSTRACT The ancient city of Harlaa in eastern Ethiopia was occupied between the mid-6th and early 15th centuries AD and played a significant role as a trading centre with links internationally. Besides goods, these trade links also served in spreading cultural and religious ideas between continents, including Islamic traditions which became prevalent in Ethiopia during this time. Here, we present the first strontium isotope analysis of human remains from an Islamic site in Ethiopia. Results show that individuals buried following Islamic traditions include people born and raised both in Harlaa itself and also in rural communities from the surrounding hinterland, revealing a resident local Muslim community and potential co-existence of Muslim and non-Muslim individuals across economic sectors. The repeatability of results produced by laser ablation in human teeth sampled multiple times around the tooth cusp is also confirmed, although small differences between simultaneously-forming molar elements from a single individual were observed.
埃塞俄比亚东部的哈拉古城在公元6世纪中期至15世纪初被占领,作为一个与国际接轨的贸易中心,它发挥了重要作用。除了货物之外,这些贸易联系还有助于在各大洲之间传播文化和宗教思想,包括当时在埃塞俄比亚流行起来的伊斯兰传统。在这里,我们提出了第一个锶同位素分析人类遗骸在埃塞俄比亚的一个伊斯兰遗址。结果显示,遵循伊斯兰传统埋葬的人包括在哈拉本身和周围腹地的农村社区出生和长大的人,这揭示了当地穆斯林社区的居民以及穆斯林和非穆斯林个人在经济领域的潜在共存。激光消融在人类牙齿尖周围多次取样所产生的结果的可重复性也得到了证实,尽管观察到来自单个个体的同时形成的臼齿元素之间存在微小差异。

ABSTRACT In this paper, we examine the exchange of crops and livestock through the application of strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope analysis on cereal grains and faunal tooth enamel from the regional center of Uppåkra and three nearby settlements in Scania, southern Sweden, dating to the first millennium AD. Around a third of the fauna have non-local 87Sr/86Sr values, indicating the import of livestock from several different regions. After cleaning, almost all of the cereal grains have non-local 87Sr/86Sr values, which is surprising given the nearby abundance of fertile agricultural soils. We therefore suggest considering non-locally grown crops to be those whose 87Sr/86Sr values fall outside the normal distribution; if this approach is used, around 20% of the analyzed crop samples are interpreted as having grown non-locally. This study demonstrates the potential of combining strontium isotopic data of archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological material for gaining insights into the movement of agricultural products in prehistory.

摘要:本文通过对来自瑞典南部乌普克拉地区中心和斯堪尼亚附近三个定居点的谷物和动物牙釉质进行锶(87Sr/86Sr)同位素分析,研究了公元一千年以来作物和牲畜的交换。大约三分之一的动物群具有非本地的87Sr/86Sr值,表明从几个不同地区进口牲畜。清洗后,几乎所有谷物都具有非本地87Sr/86Sr值,考虑到附近丰富的肥沃农业土壤,这是令人惊讶的。因此,我们建议考虑非本地种植的作物,其87Sr/86Sr值落在正态分布之外;如果使用这种方法,大约20%的分析作物样本被解释为非本地生长。这项研究表明,结合考古植物和动物考古材料的锶同位素数据,可以深入了解史前农产品的运动。图形抽象

ABSTRACT DNA-based characterisation of microbial communities can enable those interested in bone diagenesis to address questions relating to the complexity and diversity of said microbial communities. We explored whether biases could be introduced due to differences in the DNA extraction methods used. We investigated the effect of four alternative approaches on the extraction of DNA from bone, in order to examine the resulting effect on the bacterial and fungal OTUs recovered using metabarcoding. We found that the different extraction methods resulted in differences in the microbial OTU profiles generated, both when looking at the fungal and the bacterial communities within the bone. Our results emphasise the need for consistency when working with DNA extraction if comparison of results between different research groups are to be valid. Furthermore, it is clear that future efforts will be needed to determine which methods may provide the most accurate representation of the microbial community in bones.
基于dna的微生物群落特征可以使那些对骨成岩感兴趣的人能够解决与微生物群落的复杂性和多样性有关的问题。我们探讨了由于所使用的DNA提取方法的差异是否会引入偏差。我们研究了四种不同的方法对从骨骼中提取DNA的影响,以检验使用元条形码回收的细菌和真菌OTUs的结果影响。我们发现,不同的提取方法导致产生的微生物OTU图谱存在差异,无论是在观察骨骼内的真菌群落还是细菌群落时。我们的研究结果强调,如果不同研究小组之间的结果比较是有效的,那么在DNA提取工作时需要一致性。此外,很明显,未来需要努力确定哪种方法可以最准确地代表骨骼中的微生物群落。

ABSTRACT Experimentation has always played an important role in archeology, in particular to create reference collections for use-wear studies. Different types of experiments can answer different questions; all types should therefore be combined to obtain a holistic view. In controlled experiments, some factors are tested, while the other factors are kept constant to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Yet, controlled experiments have been conducted with variable degrees of control. Although they seem decoupled from archeological applications, mechanized experiments and the robust causal relationships they measure are critical to answer archeological questions like understanding the processes of use-wear formation. Here we introduce the concept behind using the SMARTTESTER®, a modular material tester, and we present four different setups (linear, rotary, percussion and oscillating) and their potential archeological applications. Such experiments will contribute to our understanding of causality in human tool use.
实验在考古学中一直扮演着重要的角色,特别是为旧磨损研究创造参考资料。不同类型的实验可以回答不同的问题;因此,所有类型都应该结合起来,以获得一个整体的观点。在对照实验中,对某些因素进行检测,而对其他因素保持不变,以提高信噪比。然而,对照实验已经进行了不同程度的控制。尽管它们似乎与考古应用脱钩,但它们测量的机械化实验和强大的因果关系对于回答考古问题(如理解使用-磨损形成过程)至关重要。在这里,我们介绍了使用模块化材料测试仪SMARTTESTER®背后的概念,并介绍了四种不同的设置(线性,旋转,冲击和振荡)及其潜在的考古应用。这样的实验将有助于我们理解人类使用工具的因果关系。

ABSTRACT Brain tissue is ubiquitous in the archaeological record. Multiple, independent studies report the finding of black, resinous or shiny brain tissue, and Petrone et al. [2020 “Heat-induced Brain Vitrification from the Vesuvius Eruption in C.E. 79.” N Engl J Med. 382: 383–384; doi:10.1056/NEJMc1909867] raise the intriguing prospect of a role for vitrification in the preservation of ancient biomolecules. However, Petrone et al. (2020) have not made their raw data available, and no detailed laboratory or analytical methodology is offered. Issues of contamination and misinterpretation hampered a decade of research in biomolecular archaeology, such that addressing these sources of bias and facilitating validation of specious findings has become both routine and of paramount importance in the discipline. We argue that the evidence they present does not support their conclusion of heat-induced vitrification of human brain tissue, and that future studies should share palaeoproteomic data in an open access repository to facilitate comparative analysis of the recovery of ancient proteins and patterns of their degradation. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
脑组织在考古记录中无处不在。多项独立研究报告发现了黑色、树脂状或有光泽的脑组织,Petrone等人[2020年]“公元79年维苏威火山喷发引起的热诱导脑玻璃化”。中华医学杂志,2016,31 (2):383-384;[doi:10.1056/NEJMc1909867]提出了玻璃化在保存古代生物分子中的作用的有趣前景。然而,Petrone等人(2020)没有提供他们的原始数据,也没有提供详细的实验室或分析方法。污染和误解的问题阻碍了生物分子考古学十年的研究,因此,解决这些偏见的来源和促进似是而非的发现的验证已经成为常规和最重要的学科。我们认为,他们提出的证据并不支持他们热诱导的人类脑组织玻璃化的结论,未来的研究应该在一个开放的存储库中共享古蛋白质组学数据,以促进对古代蛋白质的恢复及其降解模式的比较分析。图形抽象

ABSTRACT Chemical analysis of archaeological artefacts is used with increasing regularity to understand how wine was produced, traded, and consumed in the past and to shed light on its antiquity. Based both on an extensive review of the published literature and on new analyses, here we critically evaluate the diverse range of methodological approaches that have been used for wine identification. Overall, we conclude that currently none of the proposed chemical ‘biomarkers’ for wine provide unequivocal evidence. Nevertheless, valid interpretations may be offered if systematically supported by additional contextual data, such as archaeobotanical evidence. We found the extraction and detection method to be particularly crucial for successful identification. We urge the use of controls and quantification to rule out false positives. DNA sequencing offers potential for identifying wine and provides much higher taxonomic resolution, but work is needed to determine the limits of DNA survival on artefacts.
对考古文物的化学分析越来越频繁地用于了解过去葡萄酒是如何生产、交易和消费的,并揭示其古老。基于对已发表文献和新分析的广泛回顾,我们在这里批判性地评估了用于葡萄酒鉴定的各种方法方法。总的来说,我们得出的结论是,目前提议的葡萄酒化学“生物标志物”都没有提供明确的证据。然而,如果有额外的背景资料系统地支持,如考古植物证据,可能会提供有效的解释。我们发现提取和检测方法对成功鉴定尤为重要。我们敦促使用对照和量化来排除假阳性。DNA测序为鉴定葡萄酒提供了潜力,并提供了更高的分类分辨率,但需要确定DNA在人工制品上的生存极限。

ABSTRACT This work presents an exploratory investigation into the production of pre-colonial ceramics found on Trinidad through petrography and chemical analysis with XRF and ICP-OES. Four main petrofabric groups are identified and described: a shell-tempered group, a sponge spicules group, a grog group and a micaschist/quartzite group. All evidence suggest an origin local to the island. Most of the petrofabric groups are consistent with ceramic series which were previously described, but never analysed petrographically and/or chemically. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The paper discusses aspects of cooking pottery technology and operation through observations made in a series of experiments, utilizing the results of archaeological ceramic analysis in Neolithic northern Greece. The first stage of experiments focused on the experimental manufacture of three types of cooking pots, following the Neolithic techniques, from raw material processing to firing. In the second stage the pots were used in cooking performances, using structures, fuel and contents identified in the archaeological record. The qualitative data generated allow for testing a series of archaeological assumptions on ceramic technology, particularly vessel building and firing, along with the effects of cooking on pots. Moreover, experimental cooking provided insight to the relations between the different participant parts, highlighting the pivotal relation of cooking pots to fuel and different cooking modes. This pilot study aspires to endorse ceramicists to refine protocols for future experiments and analyses on cooking technologies. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
本文利用希腊北部新石器时代的考古陶瓷分析结果,通过一系列实验的观察,讨论了烹饪陶器的技术和操作方面。第一阶段的实验重点是按照新石器时代的技术,从原料加工到烧制,实验制造三种炊具。在第二阶段,这些锅被用于烹饪表演,使用考古记录中确定的结构、燃料和内容物。所产生的定性数据允许测试一系列关于陶瓷技术的考古假设,特别是容器建造和烧制,以及烹饪对锅的影响。此外,实验烹饪提供了不同参与部分之间的关系,突出了烹饪锅与燃料和不同烹饪方式的关键关系。这项试点研究旨在支持陶艺家完善未来烹饪技术实验和分析的协议。图形抽象

ABSTRACT A number of monosaccharides characteristic of plant gums were found in paint layers and preparation layers of samples of Maya mural paintings of 10 archaeological sites located in Campeche and Yucatan regions. This finding opens the question about the deliberate use of these organic polymers as additives for improving workability and mechanical properties in the preparation layer mortar and conferring cohesion to the pigments in the paint layer. The study performed by GC-MS has confirmed the presence, in significant amounts, of a series of monosaccharides, being glucose and mannose between the most abundantly found. Nevertheless, the low amount present in most of the samples hindered the quantification of the relative proportion of monosaccharides necessary for identifying the botanical species of the plant gum. According to the accepted methodology used by Maya artists for preparing painting materials, bark of trees containing plant gums was added to the slaked lime stored in pools and that should be consistent with the notable amounts of glucose, mannose and other monosaccharides forming the skeleton of hemicelluloses and cellulose found in most of the samples. Although organic matter can be present in paint samples exposed to the external environment in Mesoamerican region as result of the microbiological activity, marker compounds characteristic of products resulting from their metabolism were not found in the studied samples.
在坎佩切和尤卡坦地区10个考古遗址的玛雅壁画样品的颜料层和制备层中发现了一些具有植物胶特征的单糖。这一发现提出了一个问题,即有意使用这些有机聚合物作为添加剂,以改善制备层砂浆中的和易性和机械性能,并赋予涂料层中颜料的凝聚力。通过GC-MS进行的研究证实了大量单糖的存在,其中葡萄糖和甘露糖的含量最多。然而,大多数样品中单糖的含量低,阻碍了单糖相对比例的定量,而单糖的相对比例是鉴定植物胶的植物种类所必需的。根据玛雅艺术家在准备绘画材料时使用的公认方法,将含有植物树胶的树皮添加到储存在水池中的熟石灰中,这应该与在大多数样品中发现的形成半纤维素和纤维素骨架的大量葡萄糖、甘露糖和其他单糖相一致。虽然由于微生物活性,中美洲地区暴露于外部环境的油漆样品中可能存在有机物,但在所研究的样品中未发现由其代谢产生的产品特征的标记化合物。
