Differentiating present-day from ancient bones by vibrational spectroscopy upon acetic acid treatment

A. L. C. Brandao et al.

Summary: This study assessed the use of acetic acid treatment in accurately differentiating between ancient and recent human bones using Raman and FTIR-ATR spectroscopies. The spectra of bone samples collected from various sources were analyzed before and after chemical washing, revealing the impact of acetic acid on carbonates and contaminants. The results suggest that acetic acid treatment can effectively remove carbonates and external contaminants from bone, but is not sufficient for distinguishing between recent and archaeological skeletal remains, except for cremated bones.

Forensic DNA Typing From Femurs and Bones of the Foot A Study of 3 Cases

Heitor Simoes Dutra Correa et al.

Summary: Recent studies suggest that bones from hands and feet are superior to femur for DNA typing of skeletal remains. In this study, the DNA quantitation, degradation, and typing of femurs, lateral cuneiforms, and distal foot phalanges were reanalyzed. The results showed that the femur provided equal or inferior results compared to the other bones, with lateral cuneiforms and distal foot phalanges yielding higher percentages of true alleles. The findings highlight the need for further investigation into bone selection in forensic practice.

Critical aspects of Raman spectroscopy as a tool for postmortem interval estimation

Guillaume Falgayrac et al.

Summary: Estimating the postmortem interval from skeletal remains is challenging, as it is influenced by various extrinsic and intrinsic factors. This study used Raman spectroscopy and advanced multivariate data analysis to evaluate the effect of these factors on the spectra and improve PMI estimation.

Chronological Age Estimation of Male Occipital Bone Based on FTIR and Raman Microspectroscopy

Kai Yu et al.

Summary: In this study, FTIR and Raman microspectroscopy were used to investigate age-related changes in the occipital bones of male donors. The results showed an increasing trend in the mineral/matrix ratio, carbonate/phosphate ratio, crystallinity, and collagen maturity during maturation. The changes in the relative proportion of organic matrix and inorganic minerals were found to play a key role in age estimation.

Raman Spectra and Ancient Life: Vibrational ID Profiles of Fossilized (Bone) Tissues

Zuzana Jurasekova et al.

Summary: Raman micro-spectroscopy is a non-destructive and non-contact analytical technique that can be used for non-invasive and in situ molecular identification in samples such as fossils. It has shown growing potential in understanding bone microstructure, chemical composition, and mineral assemblance in fossilized tissues.

Bone Diagenesis in Short Timescales: Insights from an Exploratory Proteomic Analysis

Noemi Procopio et al.

Summary: This study utilized proteomic technologies to analyze the effects of different post-mortem conditions on protein in decomposing rat bones, revealing associations between specific proteins and microbial-led decomposition or post-depositional environments. Muscle- and calcium-binding proteins were more prone to degradation by bacterial attack, while plasma and bone marrow proteins were more susceptible to exposure to extrinsic agents.

Fresh vs. frozen human decomposition-A preliminary investigation of lipid degradation products as biomarkers of post-mortem interval

Maiken Ueland et al.

Summary: This study investigated lipids extracted from decomposing human tissue as potential soft-tissue biomarkers of post-mortem interval. Analysis using GC-MS/MS showed significant differences in fatty acid analytes and highlighted the stability of sterol compounds over time. The fresh and frozen donor showed differences in fatty acids, with the fresh donor displaying more distinct stages of decomposition.

Large fragment demineralization: an alternative pretreatment for forensic DNA typing of bones

Heitor Correa et al.

Summary: This study aimed to validate a non-powder protocol for DNA extraction from forensic bones and an alternative pretreatment known as large fragment demineralization (LFD). The results showed that the LFD protocol can serve as a complementary approach to confirm genotypes or detect alleles not observed using pulverization methods. The use of LFD eliminates the need for pulverizing bone samples, providing a delicate yet effective method for DNA extraction.

Molecular preservation in mammoth bone and variation based on burial environment

Caitlin Colleary et al.

Summary: Biomolecules preserved in fossils are expanding our understanding of ancient animal biology and evolution. Using mass spectrometry and analytical techniques, researchers have found that endogenous amino acids, amides, and lipids can be well preserved in fossil bones, with dense cortical bone providing better preservation of biomolecules.

Raman spectroscopic and elemental analysis of bone from a prehistoric ancestor: Mrs Ples from the Sterkfontein cave

Howell G. M. Edwards et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the complementary value of analytical elemental and molecular data for archaeological relics through non-destructive analysis of bone specimens from an early human ancestor known as Mrs Ples. Raman microspectroscopic mapping revealed the spatial distribution of various elements on the bone fragments, providing crucial information for understanding the preservation state and depositional context of the artefacts.

Compositional assessment of bone by Raman spectroscopy

Mustafa Unal et al.

Summary: Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive method used to analyze the physiochemical properties of bone. Over two decades of research have developed multiple methods for acquiring Raman signals from bone and determining peak ratios, although selecting which methods to use is not always clear. This article provides guidance on how RS instruments influence Raman spectra quality and the challenges in preparing acquired spectra for determining bone matrix properties.
