Abstract Strontium isotopic and concentration results from archeological skeletons have proved useful in demonstrating human animal mobility patterns, dietary life-history. This initiated the movement proxies to answer these questions. However, there remains an issue as whether produced values are those accumulated by individual during life not analytical artifact or result of remaining diagene...

We propose a mathematical nonlinear model for the Tiwanaku civilization collapse based on the assumption, supported by archeological data, that a drought caused a lack of the main resource, water. We evaluate the parameter of our model using archaeological data. According to our numerical simulation the population core should have decreased from 45,000 to 2000 inhabitants due to lake surface co...

Sex identification from fragmentary archeozoological assemblages is particularly challenging in the Equid family, including for horses, donkeys and their hybrids. This limitation has precluded in-depth investigations of sex-ratio variation various temporal, geographic social contexts. Recently, shallow DNA sequencing offered an economical solution to equine sex determination, even environments ...

Disseminated ores in porous or fractured media can be polarized under the application of an external low-frequency electrical field. This polarization is characterized by a dimensionless property that called “chargeability”. Induced nonintrusive geophysical sensing technique used field to image both conductivity and chargeability rocks together with characteristic relaxation time. A petrophysic...

The paper present results of the investigations on prehistoric sites in vicinity city Zenica conducted during 2018 and 2019. Based cooperation between Austrian Archaeological Institute Academy Sciences City Museum we applied geophysical prospection, air-borne laser scanning excavations order to get a better understanding Bronze Iron Age developments this specific part central Bosnia along Bosna...

Results of thermoluminescence (TL) dating of 11 heated flint artifacts from the 2002 excavation at Brno-Bohunice, Czech Republic, are presented. The samples are from the eponym locality for the Bohunician, an industrial type considered technologically transitional between Middle and Upper Paleolithic core reduction strategies. The Bohunician is the first early Upper Paleolithic technocomplex in...

The Willandra Lakes complex is one of the few locations in semi-arid Australia to preserve both paleoenvironmental and Paleolithic archeological archives at high resolution. The stratigraphy of transverse lunette dunes on the lakes' downwind margins record a late Quaternary sequence of wetting and drying. Within the Willandra system, the Lake Mungo lunette is best known for its preservation of ...
