• What Happened Here? Bone Histology as a Tool in Decoding the Postmortem Histories of Archaeological Bone from Castricum, The Netherlands (2012, background): “Because the type and severity of alterations is a factor of the environmental conditions, these changes can aid the identification of taphonomic processes and the evolution of the burial environment (Turner-Walker, 1999; Jans, 2005; Turner-Walker & Jans, 2008).”
• 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.”
