Name(s): Creator (cre): Scott, Michael, Thesis advisor (ths): Szpak, Paul, Degree committee member (dgc): Morin, Eugene, Degree committee member (dgc): Williams, Jocelyn S, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Fatty acid analysis was performed on archaeological bone from various fauna from sites in the Canadian arctic to better understand the preservation of fatty acids and their potential applications to palaeoecological and palaeodietary studies. These data were complemented by analyses of modern bone and soft tissue samples from livestock and harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus). Results… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Price, Samantha D.R., Thesis advisor (ths): Keenleyside, Anne, Degree committee member (dgc): Williams, Jocelyn S, Degree committee member (dgc): Morin, Eugene, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>This study investigates the use of dental calculus for paleodietary studies using stable isotope analysis of a skeletal sample from the Greek colonial site of Apollonia Pontica, Bulgaria (5th to 3rd century BC). A sample of 27 individuals was used to examine the &#948;13C and &#948;15N values of paired dental calculus and bone samples, and the dental calculus was analyzed as… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Downer, Abigail Clarissa, Thesis advisor (ths): Williams, Jocelyn S, Degree committee member (dgc): Munson, Marit K, Degree committee member (dgc): Keenleyside, Anne, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>When bioarchaeologists investigate ancient gender identity, they typically place skeletal remains into one of six sex assessment categories: male, female, possible/probable male, possible/probable female, ambiguous, and indeterminate. However, the study samples are often reduced to male and female reproducing a male/female gender and sex binary prevalent in the "Western"… more
