Investigating population movement by stable isotope analysis: a report from Britain (2004)
Journal Article
Budd, P., Millard, A., Chenery, C., Lucy, S., & Roberts, C. (2004). Investigating population movement by stable isotope analysis: a report from Britain. Antiquity, 78(299), 127-141. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0003598x0009298x

Stable isotopes present in local ground water get into people's teeth before they are 12 years old, and act as a signature to the area where they grew up (and drank the water). In a review of recent work in Britain the authors show the huge potential... Read More about Investigating population movement by stable isotope analysis: a report from Britain.

Taking Bayes Beyond Radiocarbon: Bayesian Approaches to Some Other Chronometric Methods (2003)
Book Chapter
Millard, A. (2003). Taking Bayes Beyond Radiocarbon: Bayesian Approaches to Some Other Chronometric Methods. In C. Buck, & A. Millard (Eds.), Tools for Constructing Chronologies: Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries (231-248). Springer Verlag

Building on the models for, and practical applications of, Bayesian chronological analysis on the basis of radiocarbon and archaeomagnetism outlined by Buck (Chapter 1), Bayliss and Bronk Ramsey (Chapter 2) and Lanos (Chapter 3), this chapter looks f...

A Bayesian approach to the estimation of the age of humans from tooth development and wear (2002)
Journal Article
Millard, A., & Gowland, R. (2002). A Bayesian approach to the estimation of the age of humans from tooth development and wear. Archeologia e calcolatori (Testo stampato), 13, 197-210

Examination of dental development is considered to be an accurate method of ageing non-adults, but ageing adults from dental wear is much less accurate. Miles’ method is generally accepted to be the best way we have to derive estimates of tooth-wear...

The survival of organic matter in bone: A review (2002)
Journal Article
Collins, M., Nielsen-Marsh, C., Hiller, J., Smith, C., Roberts, J., Prigodich, R., …Turner-Walker, G. (2002). The survival of organic matter in bone: A review. Archaeometry, 44(3), 383-394. https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-4754.t01-1-00071

If bone is considered as a composite of collagen (protein) and bioapatite (mineral), then three pathways of diagenesis are identified: (1) chemical deterioration of the organic phase; (2) chemical deterioration of the mineral phase; and (3) (micro) b...

The Taphonomy of Cooked Bone : Characterizing Boiling and its Physico-Chemical Effects (2002)
Journal Article
Roberts, S., Smith, C., Millard, A., & Collins, M. (2002). The Taphonomy of Cooked Bone : Characterizing Boiling and its Physico-Chemical Effects. Archaeometry, 44(3), 485-494. https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-4754.t01-1-00080

Cooking is perhaps the most common pre–burial taphonomic transformation that occurs to bone, yet it is still one of the least understood. Little progress has been made in determining a method of identifying cooked bone in the archaeological record, d...
