Routine techniques are destructive. They involve drilling or crushing of bone and teeth. We employed an extraction in hot water at 75-90 C to solublise collagen from archaeological bones without any visible damage.

Non-destructive collagen extraction, with purification, yields identical radiocarbon ages to those obtained via the routine destructive methods.

Okay, this is big. Really.
New finds from SE Anatolia suggest that at Gre Fılla, #Diyarbakir, Neolithic hunter-gatherers experimented with copper #metallurgy ... 9,000 years ago!
Yes, that's the Pre-Poettery Neolithic we're talking about:

An ancient woman from Romania shows an edgeto-edge bite (left). A Bronze Age man from Austria had a slight overbite (right). Hedline reads: Ancient switch to soft food gave us an overbite—and the ability to pronounce ‘f’s and ‘v’s
The spread of agriculture didn’t just change our diets—it altered our jaws as well, making it easy to pronounce "f"s and "v"s and opening a whole new world of words.
