The diagenetic modifications of archaeological bones from the Celtic site of Radovesice (Czech Republic) were described combining histological and instrumental analysis with infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The post-mortem changes in microstructure, mineral and organic fraction of human bones were related to seasonal fluctuations in water saturation and temperature, reflecting the Atlantic influence on the continental climate system of this transitional area of Eastern-Central Europe. The effects of a burial environment characterised by a well-oxygenated soil with good hydraulic conductivity, which evolved from the Quaternary loess deposits of the Bohemian massif, led to a common diagenetic pathway, which comprised micro-fissuring, mineral dissolution and degradation of collagen by microbial activity, followed by secondary calcite deposition under mildly alkaline conditions. Observed intra-site variations reflected changes in the early taphonomic history or in microenvironmental conditions, such as prolonged acidic conditions hindering apatite reprecipitation, as well as secondary calcite crystallisation. Diffuse effects of surface abrasion by sediments and absence of brown staining did not support the hypothesis of extensive use of wooden coffins. New indexes obtained from 31P and 1H NMR, respectively, were employed to describe diagenesis. They were found to correlate with FT-IR indexes, although reflecting distinct structural characteristics of bone which are not accessible to FT-IR.

中欧黄土矿床中的骨成岩作用:波西米亚Radovesice的凯尔特人遗址

描述了结合雷达的组织学和仪器分析(FT-IR)和核磁共振(NMR)光谱,描述了拉多维采采(捷克共和国)凯尔特人遗址的考古骨骼的成岩作用。人体骨骼的微观结构,矿物质和有机物含量的事后变化与水饱和度和温度的季节性波动有关,反映出大西洋对该东欧-中欧过渡地区的大陆性气候系统的影响。由波希米亚断层的第四纪黄土沉积演化而来的,具有良好的水力传导性的土壤具有良好的充氧性,其埋葬环境的影响导致了一条常见的成岩途径,包括微裂缝,矿物溶解和胶原的降解。微生物活性 然后在弱碱性条件下进行二次方解石沉积。观察到的位点内部变化反映了早期分光光度历史或微环境条件下的变化,例如延长的酸性条件阻碍了磷灰石的再沉淀以及二次方解石的结晶。沉积物造成的表面磨损的扩散效应和褐色染色的缺乏并不能支持广泛使用木制棺材的假说。从获得的新指数 沉积物造成的表面磨损的扩散效应和褐色染色的缺乏并不能支持广泛使用木制棺材的假说。从获得的新指数 沉积物造成的表面磨损的扩散效应和褐色染色的缺乏并不能支持广泛使用木制棺材的假说。从获得的新指数31 P和1 H NMR分别用于描述成岩作用。它们被发现与FT-IR指数相关,尽管反映了FT-IR无法获得的独特的骨骼结构特征。
