Multi-isotope zooarchaeological investigations at Abri du Maras: The paleoecological and paleoenvironmental context of Neanderthal subsistence strategies in the Rhone Valley during MIS 3

Kate Britton et al.

Summary: This study investigated the paleoecology of ungulates and the environmental conditions during the Late Pleistocene in southern France. The results showed differences in diet among different ungulate species, including the extinct giant deer. The study also revealed behavioral plasticity in Late Pleistocene reindeer and their seasonal use of the site by Neanderthals. These findings provide important insights into early human subsistence strategies and decision-making.

Freshwater wetland-driven variation in sulfur isotope compositions: Implications for human paleodiet and ecological research

Eric J. J. Guiry et al.

Summary: Sulfur isotope analysis plays a crucial role in understanding human and animal migration and diet. However, interpreting the results can be challenging. This study demonstrates that the use of freshwater wetland resources significantly affects the sulfur isotope composition of higher-level consumers. These findings have important implications for reevaluating our understanding of human mobility and diet, as well as studying the historical ecology of wetland ecosystems.

Dominant carnivore loss benefits native avian and invasive mammalian scavengers

Matthew W. W. Fielding et al.

Summary: The decline of top carnivores can trigger trophic shifts within ecosystems, impacting the scavenging dynamics and persistence of carcasses. Native mammalian carnivore loss increases access to carrion for smaller scavengers, highlighting the importance of top-carnivore conservation for ecosystem functioning.

Iso-Wetlands: unlocking wetland ecologies and agriculture in prehistory through sulfur isotopes

Rhiannon E. Stevens et al.

Summary: Iso-Wetlands is a collaborative research project funded by NERC, involving researchers from UCL Institute of Archaeology, the University of Leeds, and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. The project aims to develop sulfur isotope analysis as a new tool for exploring hydrological conditions in ancient agricultural production, particularly in relation to seasonal floodwater agriculture and wetland agriculture. This project has the potential to improve understanding of water management strategies and expand the use of sulfur isotopes in archaeology and ecology to study wetland habitat use.

Interpreting Past Human Diets Using Stable Isotope Mixing Models-Best Practices for Data Acquisition

Christina Cheung et al.

Summary: The study discusses the challenges faced by archaeologists in reconstructing palaeodiets using SIMMs, focusing on issues in data acquisition that could affect dietary quantification. A flowchart is provided to aid in sample selection for dietary reconstruction, aimed at reducing the likelihood of inaccurate outputs. The study also highlights areas where SIMMs may not be suitable for all archaeological contexts.

Mobilizing the past to shape a better Anthropocene

Nicole Boivin et al.

Summary: It is crucial for societies to initiate responsible environmental stewardship in the new epoch dominated by humans. Utilizing information from the past can enhance sustainability and resilience, leading to practical solutions that do not rely on fossil fuels and have been tested over time. Collaborative efforts across disciplines and the integration of past knowledge with future technologies are key to improving environmental outcomes and societal resilience.

Not just trash birds: Quantifying avian diversity at landfills using community science data

Zachary J. Arnold et al.

Summary: Landfills provide reliable food resources for many bird species, attracting both pest species and those of conservation concern. Despite slightly lower species richness compared to reference sites, bird communities at landfills share similar composition and spatial turnover. Gulls and other species feeding at higher trophic levels are more frequently observed at landfills, while habitat specialists including declining grassland species and migratory waterfowl are also commonly encountered in these sites.

Landscape modification by Last Interglacial Neanderthals

Wil Roebroeks et al.

Summary: This study presents high-resolution paleoenvironmental and archaeological data from Neumark-Nord in Germany, revealing the impact of Pleistocene hunter-gatherers on their ecosystems. The ecological footprint of hominin activities, including fire use, shaped vegetation structure and succession in the lake landscape, suggesting human involvement in vegetation transformation. Neumark-Nord, with an age of around 125,000 years, provides an early example of the role of hominins in influencing vegetation dynamics.
