Abstract
Some preliminary observations on subsurface damage on experimental and archaeological quartz tools using CLSM and dye
Monika Derndarsky
Göran Ocklind
1149 - 1158
Reports study of the subsurface damage on experimental and archaeological quartz tools by dying them with fluorescent colour and examining them with a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). This method shows that various worked materials cause different subsurface damage, which is related to the hardness of the worked material
On the archaeobotanical inference of crop sowing time using the FIBS method

1171 - 1183
Reports on FIBS (Functional Interpretation of Botanical Surveys) used to facilitate the archaeobotanical recognition of autumn versus spring sowing on the basis of weed seeds associated with ancient crop remains. Argues that functional attributes relating to seasonality and/or the capacity to regenerate rapidly following disturbance are found to be the best ecological indicators of sowing time; of these, onset and length of the flowering period are the most useful attributes of all. Attributes which relate to the quality of the growth period, which usually indicate soil fertility, are apparently influenced by sowing time. The implication is that, in applying functional attributes to archaeobotanical data, sowing time should be assessed prior to fertility.
Isotopic comparison of hair, nail and bone: modern analyses

1247 - 1255
This paper presents a comparison of the isotopic values of eight pairings of hair keratin and bone collagen and twelve pairings of hair keratin and nail keratin taken from living humans resident in the UK, with the aim of examining whether modern human isotopic data can be directly compared to archaeological isotopic data. Results show that bone collagen was enriched relative to hair keratin from the same individual. Isotopic comparison of hair keratin and nail keratin from the same individual showed that there is no significant difference between the two. Differences in amino acid composition between hair keratin and bone collagen may account for the carbon isotopic differences between the two proteins, and there is no significant overall carbon isotopic difference between hair and nail. However there are significant isotopic differences for nitrogen in the two pairings, that differences in amino acid composition and turnover times cannot explain. The report indicates that constancy of isotopic values between tissues, even for similar proteins, cannot be taken for granted.
