Reaction kinetics of protein hydrolysis, amino acid decomposition, and isoleucine epimerization in eggshell of the African Ostrich, Struthio camelus
Eggshell of the African Ostrich, Struthio camelus, frequently occurs in African archaeological sites, some of which are beyond the limit of radiocarbon dating. In order to date those sites beyond the range of ¹⁴C dating using amino acid geochemistry, an understanding of the reaction kinetics governi...
