Isotopic tracking of carnivore palaeoecology is a relatively new approach that yielded
important results for the study of the non-analogue mammoth steppe biome. After describing …

Collagen, the organic fraction of bone, records the isotopic parameters of consumed food for
carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N). This relationship of isotopic signature between diet …

The prey choice of extinct cave lions Panthera spelaea was determined using bone collagen
isotopic signatures in the Belgian Ardennes and the Swabian Jura between 40,000 and …

In the Austrian caves of Gamssulzen and Ramesch, two genetically distinct cave bears,
Ursus ingressus and Ursus spelaeus eremus, apparently lived side by side for 15,000 years …

More than 300 cave bear bones from all over Europe have carbon and nitrogen isotopic
composition that match overwhelmingly a diet based on plants, except for samples from two …

Abstract Fox (Vulpes vulpes and Vulpes lagopus), wolf (Canis lupus) and dog (Canis lupus
familiaris) remains are commonly found in the faunal assemblages of Magdalenian sites in …

We studied 36 dogs (Canis familiaris) from the Can Roqueta site in the Catalan pre-littoral
depression (Barcelona), dated between the Late Bronze Age and the First Iron Age (1300 …

Abstract Trophic Enrichment Factor (TEF) is the main parameter used in isotopic trophic
ecology. TEF values can be derived from specimens subjected to experimental feeding or …

When studying an extinct species such as the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus ROSENMÜLLER
1794), it is possible to apply a variety of molecular biology techniques such as the study of …

Equifinality constitutes a challenge when interpreting agency in archaeological sites. The
fact that a specific type of damage frequently cannot be linked to a single actor, behavior, or …
