- Biochemical and physical correlates of DNA contamination in archaeological human bones and teeth excavated at Matera, Italy (2005, methodology): “Human bones suffer common patterns of alteration with microscopic focal destruction resulting in areas of dense mineralization surrounding pores with diameters at 600 nm and 1.2 mm microbial alteration (‘‘m’’ porosity, 600 nme1.5 mm [ 24 ,42]).”
- What Happened Here? Bone Histology as a Tool in Decoding the Postmortem Histories of Archaeological Bone from Castricum, The Netherlands (2012, background): “As suggested by both Bell et al. (1996) and Jans et al. (2004), under certain circumstances, it may happen at least within months postmortem and before complete skeletonisation.”
- Combining histology, stable isotope analysis and ZooMS collagen fingerprinting to investigate the taphonomic history and dietary behaviour of extinct giant tortoises from the Mare aux Songes deposit on Mauritius (2014, background): “Histology has proved to be a valuable tool in studying taphonomic processes (Jans et al., 2004; Turner-Walker and Jans, 2008; Hollund et al., 2012), which can reveal traces (occasionally even a sequence) of changes in the burial environment.”
- Genetic analyses from ancient DNA. (2004, methodology): “Alternative methods include the estimation of the ratio of peptide fragments to single amino acids via mass spectrometry (117), direct assessment of bone histology (6, 8, 16, 70), determination of DNA damage via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (65), measurement of porosity and density in bone (”
