TL;DR: Bone chemistry paleodietary studies are emerging as important research areas in archaeology, biological anthropology, and paleontology as mentioned in this paper, with appropriate controls, the inorganic and organic chemical composition of bones and teeth can provide information about past diet and habitat use.

TL;DR: A deep learning artificial neural network was adapted to the task of sex determination of skeletal remains and showed 95% accuracy at sex determination on previously unseen images of skulls.

TL;DR: Stable isotopic analyses of prehistoric human and faunal bones and teeth provide a means to assess past Aboriginal dietary patterns and habitat use, palaeoclimate, and palaeoecology, and stable carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and strontium isotopes can provide information about changes in past rainfall patterns, climate and plant and animal distributions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of human remains to find evidence for the retention of hunter-gatherer economies among coastal inhabitants in northern Chile during the late Holocene.

TL;DR: Pate and Schoeninger as mentioned in this paper reported the results of the first application of dual isotope (carbon and nitrogen) palaeodietary analysis to precontact human bone collagen in Australia and compared with isotopic values for a variety of marine, riverine and terrestrial foods to provide additional information regarding the dietary composition of this inland riverine population during the late Holocene.
