TL;DR: In this article, the identification of diagenetic alteration of carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of bone and tooth collagen prepared by a widely used method is presented for assessing sample quality.
1,449 citations
TL;DR: In this article, chemical, elemental and isotopic parameters for the assessment of collagen quality are discussed, and it is concluded that there is no unequivocal way to detect natural levels of contamination with the discussed parameters, although their use can identify many cases.
1,370 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the isotopic fidelity of different carbon and oxygen-bearing components from individual fossil skeletons of Holocene humans and late Pleistocene mastodons and mammoths.
837 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of experimental, controlled heating on modern bones and teeth from sheep and goats were investigated, and four aspects of heating specimens to between 20 and 940°C were considered: color, microscopic morphology, crystalline structure and shrinkage.
832 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions under which progressive levels of burning may occur to archaeological bone, and how burning damage changes bones' crystal structure and susceptibility to fragmentation (a.k.a. friability).
