Leprosy is one of the few specific infectious diseases that can be studied in bioarchaeology due to its characteristic debilitating and disfiguring skeletal changes. Leprosy has been, and continues to be, one of the most socially stigmatising disease...

The Great Irish Famine: identifying starvation in the tissues of victims using stable isotope analysis of bone and incremental dentine collagen (2016)
Journal Article
Beaumont, J., & Montgomery, J. (2016). The Great Irish Famine: identifying starvation in the tissues of victims using stable isotope analysis of bone and incremental dentine collagen. PLoS ONE, 11(8), Article e0160065. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0160065

The major components of human diet both past and present may be estimated by measuring the carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of the collagenous proteins in bone and tooth dentine. However, the results from these two tissues differ su...

Radiocarbon dates have been obtained from a log-coffin burial excavated in 1864 by Canon William Greenwell from a ditched round barrow at Scale House, near Rylstone, North Yorkshire. The oak tree-trunk coffin had contained an extended body wrapped in... Read More about On the curious date of the Rylstone log-coffin burial.

The identification of peptides by nanoLC-MS/MS from human surface tooth enamel following a simple acid etch extraction (2016)
Journal Article
Stewart, N. A., Molina, G. F., Issa, J. P. M., Yates, N. A., Sosovicka, M., Vieira, A. R., …Gerlach, R. F. (2016). The identification of peptides by nanoLC-MS/MS from human surface tooth enamel following a simple acid etch extraction. RSC Advances, 6(66), 61673-61679. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6ra05120k

Tooth enamel is the hardest, densest and most mineralized tissue in vertebrates. This is due to the high crystallinity of enamel. During enamel formation, proteins responsible for mineralization are degraded by proteases, which results in mature enam...

Bell Beaker people in Britain: migration, mobility and diet (2016)
Journal Article
Parker Pearson, M., Chamberlain, A., Jay, M., Richards, M., Sheridan, A., Curtis, N., …Wilkin, N. (2016). Bell Beaker people in Britain: migration, mobility and diet. Antiquity, 90(351), 620-637. https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2016.72

The appearance of the distinctive ‘Beaker package’ marks an important horizon in British prehistory, but was it associated with immigrants to Britain or with indigenous converts? Analysis of the skeletal remains of 264 individuals from the British Ch... Read More about Bell Beaker people in Britain: migration, mobility and diet.

Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle (2016)
Journal Article
Gron, K., Montgomery, J., Otto Nielsen, P., Nowell, G., Peterkin, J. L., Sørensen, L., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2016). Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 6, 248-251. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2016.02.015

The movement of livestock across and within landscapes is increasingly being recognized as common in northern European prehistoric contexts, and was performed for various purposes. However, almost nothing is known about the movement of livestock in t... Read More about Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle.

All Roads Lead to Rome: Exploring Human Migration to the Eternal City through Biochemistry of Skeletons from Two Imperial-Era Cemeteries (1st-3rd c AD) (2016)
Journal Article

Migration within the Roman Empire occurred at multiple scales and was engaged in both voluntarily and involuntarily. Because of the lengthy tradition of classical studies, bioarchaeological analyses must be fully contextualized within the bounds of h...

Isotopic evidence for residential mobility of farming communities during the transition to agriculture in Britain (2016)
Journal Article

Development of agriculture is often assumed to be accompanied by a decline in residential mobility, and sedentism is frequently proposed to provide the basis for economic intensification, population growth and increasing social complexity. In Britain... Read More about Isotopic evidence for residential mobility of farming communities during the transition to agriculture in Britain.

Assembling places and persons: a tenth-century Viking boat burial from Swordle Bay on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, western Scotland (2016)

A rare, intact Viking boat burial in western Scotland contained a rich assemblage of grave goods, providing clues to the identity and origins of both the interred individual and the people who gathered to create the site. The burial evokes the mundan... Read More about Assembling places and persons: a tenth-century Viking boat burial from Swordle Bay on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, western Scotland.

Genomic signals of migration and continuity in Britain before the Anglo-Saxons (2016)
Journal Article

The purported migrations that have formed the peoples of Britain have been the focus of generations of scholarly controversy. However, this has not benefited from direct analyses of ancient genomes. Here we report nine ancient genomes (~1 ×) of indiv... Read More about Genomic signals of migration and continuity in Britain before the Anglo-Saxons.
