Standards for Data Collection from Human Skeletal Remains: Proceedings of a Seminar at the Field Museum of Natural History
TL;DR: In this paper, a hands-on laboratory course is presented to examine the human skeleton as a dynamic, living system, with a review of normal and abnormal variations of each bone and apply this knowledge to make determinations about age, sex, stature and pathological conditions.
Standards for Data Collection from Human Skeletal Remains
TL;DR: This hands-on laboratory course will take an in-depth study of the human skeleton as a dynamic, living system, and will examine each bone, with a review of normal and abnormal variations.

TL;DR: Three 1,000-year-old mycobacterial genomes from Peruvian human skeletons are presented, revealing that a member of the M. tuberculosis complex caused human disease before contact and implicate sea mammals as having played a role in transmitting the disease to humans across the ocean.

TL;DR: The findings imply that domestic dogs are the culmination of a process that initiated with European hunter-gatherers and the canids with whom they interacted, and molecular dating suggests an onset of domestication there 18,800 to 32,100 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in a pre-Columbian Peruvian mummy
TL;DR: The recovery of DNA unique to Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a lung lesion of a spontaneously mummified, 1000-year-old adult female body in southern Peru provides the most specific evidence possible for the pre-Columbian presence of human tuberculosis in the New World.
