The repeated replacement model – Rapid climate change and population dynamics in Late Pleistocene Europe (2012, methodology): “New laboratory methods for chemical pre-treatment (e.g. ultrafiltration and enhanced Acid-Base-Acid methods) have demonstrated that further reductions in sample contamination are feasible (e.g. Higham et al., 2006; Brock et al., 2007; Hüls et al., 2007).”
Pleistocene Megafauna From Eastern Beringia: Paleoecological And Paleoenvironmental Interpretations Of Stable Carbon And Nitrogen Isotope And Radiocarbon Records (vol 261, Pg 30, 2008) (2008, methodology): “The filtrate was ultrafiltered (pre-cleaned Centriprep ultrafilters; Higham et al., 2006), with retention and lyophilization of the N30 kDa fraction.”
Archaeological collagen: Why worry about collagen diagenesis? (2009, background): “…random chain scission predicts a rapid decline in modal peptide length, but radiocarbon laboratories (Brown et al. 1988; Ramsey et al. 2004; Higham et al. 2006) routinely date the >30 kDa gelatine fraction (>30% of initial polymer length) which clearly persists in bone of considerable…”
Analysis of Bone “Collagen” Extraction Products for Radiocarbon Dating (2013, methodology): “Hüls et al. (2009), for example, observed differing yields for the same modern and fossil collagen samples when ultrafiltered with 2 different filter types, both with 30kDa molecular weight cut-offs.”
Species identification and decay assessment of Late Pleistocene fragmentary vertebrate remains from Pin Hole Cave (Creswell Crags, UK) using collagen fingerprinting (2017, background): “ka (Higham et al. 2006) through to the Lateglacial period (Hedges et al.”
Extinction chronology and palaeobiology of the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) (2009, methodology): “Recent improvements in AMS dating, using ultrafiltration, in several cases have given significantly older dates on the same material (Higham et al. 2006a, b; Jacobi et al. 2006; Mellars 2006), stressing the need for caution in accepting all published radiocarbon dates uncritically.”
Aspects of human physical and behavioural evolution during the last 1 million years (2019, background): “…and Neanderthal interactions, at least in Europe, stems from the technological revolution in radiocarbon dating arising from ultrafiltration (Higham et al., 2006), which has allowed a more accurate chronology to be established for the physical extinction of Neanderthals in relation to the…”
