Abstract
Taphonomic factors in a human skeletal assemblage
Simon Mays
54 - 58
A study of the relative representation of various skeletal elements from 250 burials at Blackfriars Friary, Ipswich, interred between 1263 and 1538. Patterns of loss resulting from differential destruction of bone due to taphonomic considerations and during the process of recovery were monitored. Variables such as soil acidity and the anatomical knowledge of the excavator mean that the results cannot be easily applied to other site assemblages.
A quick, semi-quantitative method for recording nematode gut parasite eggs from archaeological deposits
Michael Dainton
58 - 63
Details a swift method for detecting the presence of parasite eggs in archaeological deposits, known as the `squash' technique. This can produce meaningful results more rapidly than traditional methods, making use of uncomplicated equipment.
The biochemistry and microbiology of buried human bone, in relation to dietary reconstruction
S E Antoine

Rebecca A Nicholson
Mark M Pollard
65 - 79
This paper presents a survey of the background to the biochemical and microbiological study of human bone, reviews previous and current applications of this work, and discusses the implications for the reconstruction of past human diets. Information has been drawn from a range of published sources, not all of them easily accessible to the archaeological community. This paper is intended to provide a summary of the literature and a reference point for students and researchers with an interest in palaeodietary studies, but without a specialist biochemical background or time to undertake a literature search themselves.
Rapid recording of archaeological insect remains -- a reconsideration
Harry Kenward
81 - 88
Methods for recording insect assemblages which have been employed in the Environmental Archaeology Unit (EAU) are outlined, with particular reference to those used for work on material from the 16--22 Coppergate, York, site. Rapid recording techniques have been adopted in order to examine sufficient samples to provide adequate representation of complex sites within available funding and realistic time-scales. The effectiveness and reliability of these methods are discussed; it is stressed that they require considerable experience and are not appropriate to the novice. Various semi-philosophical points concerning extensive and intensive studies of bioarchaeological remains are made in the hope of stimulating debate in this sensitive area.
