Microarchaeological Approaches to the Identification and Interpretation of Combustion Features in Prehistoric Archaeological Sites
TL;DR: In this article, microarchaeological analyses, including micromorphology, are essential for documenting the composition, preservation, and function of hearths and other burned residues, focusing on the description of fuels, depositional fabrics and structures, and mineralogy.

XRD and FTIR crystallinity indices in sound human tooth enamel and synthetic hydroxyapatite.
José Reyes-Gasga,Esmeralda Martínez-Piñeiro,Galois Rodríguez-Álvarez,Gaby E. Tiznado-Orozco,R. García-García,Etienne F. Brès +5 more
TL;DR: The CI of sound human tooth enamel and synthetic hydroxyapatite was measured by X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, at room temperature and after heat treatment, and both indices showed similar qualitative behavior for heat-treated samples.

Comparison of transmission FTIR, ATR, and DRIFT spectra: implications for assessment of bone bioapatite diagenesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the interchangeability of the three FTIR techniques by analyzing 452 prehistoric and modern bioapatite samples and found that the attenuated total reflection (ATR) and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) produced more reliable results and were comparable to transmission FTIR.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new statistical approach for determining the crystallinity of heat-altered bone mineral from FTIR spectra
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel application of statistical techniques to the FTIR spectra of bone samples burned in the range 100°C-1100°C has been used to identify five new spectral indices of heat-induced crystallinity change.

Estimating temperature exposure of burnt bone — A methodological review
TL;DR: This paper draws together and evaluates all currently available methodologies for temperature estimation and vastly advancing the understanding of heat induced changes in bone, thus facilitating a more accurate interpretation.

Burnt bones and teeth: an experimental study of color, morphology, crystal structure and shrinkage
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.

Differential Burning, Recrystallization, and Fragmentation of Archaeological Bone
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).

States of preservation of bones from prehistoric sites in the Near East: A survey
Stephen Weiner,Ofer Bar-Yosef +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of the states of preservation of organic material in 30 fossil bones from 16 different prehistoric sites in the Near East shows that whereas almost all the bones have little or no collagen preserved, they do, with few exceptions, contain non-collagenous proteins.

An X-ray diffraction study of the effects of heat treatment on bone mineral microstructure.
Keith Rogers,P. Daniels +1 more
TL;DR: The small, rod-like mineral crystallites changed from a highly anisotropically strained state to one with significantly larger equidimensional crystals possessing little microstrain when heated to > 800 degrees C, discussing in the context of graft bone substitutes and surgical heating of bone.
