Bone Diagenesis and Taphonomic History of the Paso Otero 1 Bone Bed, Pampas of Argentina
Samples of guanaco bone from an archaeological site in the Pampas of Argentina have been analysed to understand the diagenetic profile of the bone assemblages that characterized the taphonomic history of the site. Two archaeological occupations of Paso Otero 1 were investigated, encompassing similar landscape settings, climates, and depositional environments. The time span is a c. 2000 year per...
متن کاملChemical Weathering Trends from Tir Spectral Models: Implications for Deriving Weathering Trends from Martian Spectral Data
Introduction: Chemical weathering and petrologic trends of the martian surface have been estimated from thermal infrared (TIR) spectral models from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) and Mini-TES on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers [1,2]. Interpretations of chemical data from APXS on the MER rovers and TIR data from TES and the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) suggest planet-wide ...

Chapter one Outline and Scope of this thesis, gives a brief account of the aims and scopes of the study. Chapter two General Introduction, gives an overview of the topic of study for the LeCHE research training network: dairy farming – its effects in the past and the present, and how we can study this. The last part of this chapter describes the role of the current project within the network an...
متن کاملRodents as taphonomic agents: bone gnawing by brown rats and gray squirrels.
Passive infrared technology was used to film diurnal and nocturnal scavenging behavior of brown rats and gray squirrels at the University of Tennessee's Anthropological Research Facility. This direct documentation demonstrated that brown rats modified fat-laden cancellous bone while gray squirrels generally gnawed the thicker bone cortices only after fats had leached away. A case study placed i...
متن کاملDiagenetic screening of bone samples; tools to aid taphonomic and archaeometric investigations
It is generally a challenge to interpret incomplete and degraded skeletal assemblages found during archaeological excavations. Several events after the death of animals and humans, before and after burial, will have influenced the situation as seen upon excavation. This post-mortem sequence of events can be called the taphonomic history of bones. Taphonomic signatures detected using histology c...
