Title	Modified bone density fractionation method for palaeodietary studies
Author	Ji Young Shin
Keywords	Bone density fractionation, Bone diagenesis, Particle size, Palaeodiet, Stable isotope analysis
Abstract	The bone density fractionation method is a potential palaeodietary tool in tracing lifetime dietary changes as well as separating diagenetically altered fractions. This paper presents a workable bone density fractionation method that uses a devised mathematical model and the particle size distribution. Different grinding methods, i.e., a Spex LN2 mill, a Disc mill and a Micronising mill, were used to reduce archaeological bone particles to an appropriate size range, which was then analyzed by a Laser particle sizer. It was found that density profiles are in good agreement with the diagenetic parameters, and with their stable isotope results.
