However, ethical codes are often unfamiliar to researchers and the treatment of human remains continues to be unequal. Temporal or geographic contexts, among others, should not dictate the ethical standards employed by researchers. Based on previous advocacy efforts and international ethics policies, we suggest six levels of consideration for scientists intending to develop bioarchaeological research projects, using case studies to support the implementation of these steps.

Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope analysis of bone collagen from 57 human and 137 ... more Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope analysis of bone collagen from 57 human and 137 faunal samples was conducted with the aim of reconstructing human diet at the Late Chalcolithic (mid-4th millenniumBC) site of Çamlıbel Tarlası, north-central Anatolia. The analyses indicate that the diet of the inhabitants of Çamlıbel Tarlası was based largely on C3 resources. Comparison of human and faunal δ15N values suggest that animal proteins were likely to be of secondary importance to diet, with cultigens such as wheat and barley and potentially pulses taking the role of dietary staples. Age-related variation in stable isotope signals was identified.
