Intraspecific aggression, or agonism, is a widespread intrasexual selective behavior
important to understanding animal behavioral ecology and reproductive systems. Such …

The preparation of samples for traceological analysis is a key methodological aspect in the
correct interpretation of use-wear; however, it is often poorly reflected in the archaeological …

The use of high‐resolution silicone moulds for documenting bone surface modifications,
such as cut marks, is common. However, it has not been evaluated whether moulding can …

In many cases, the study of archaeological fossil surfaces is not possible without prior
intervention by conservation-restoration specialists. This is most notable in the required …

Bone is a primary source of information in prehistoric contexts. In many cases, this type of
material cannot be studied without prior cleaning, which is further conditioned by the state of …

The taphonomic analysis of surface modifications on bones is crucial for reconstructing the
