DESCRIPTION:Chemical analyses of collagen in human bone are increasingly b
 eing used as a method of acquiring direct information about archaeological
  populations. However\, due to the structure of bone\, it is highly suscep
 tible to certain factors in the burial environment and this affects the pr
 eservation of collagen. Researchers have attempted to identify all of thes
 e factors as well as methods of quantifying collagen preservation. While a
 ttempting to understand low sample preservation rates\, the author potenti
 ally calls into question one of the most widely used of these methods- the
  C/N ratio.
