| Description | Highlighted in this Special Issue are nine contributions that discuss recent advances in the study of bones and teeth diagenesis, initially presented during the 9th International Bone Diagenesis Meeting. These contributions present progress made in population genetics, diet, mobility, and health investigations through the analysis of bone organic and inorganic preservation. Bone diagenetic changes are also evaluated regarding anthropogenic (funerary practices, application of consolidants and preservatives, post excavation process) and environmental (peat-rich gravel and marine settings) influence. Finally, short timescale diagenetic modifications are discussed, with implications for interpretating archaeological and forensic findings. |
