Strategic and sporadic marine consumption at the onset of the Neolithic: increasing temporal resolution in the isotope evidence (2013)
Journal Article
Montgomery, J., Beaumont, J., Jay, A., Keefe, K., Gledhill, A., Cook, G., …Melton, N. (2013). Strategic and sporadic marine consumption at the onset of the Neolithic: increasing temporal resolution in the isotope evidence. Antiquity, 87(338), 1060-1072. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0003598x00049863

Stable isotope analysis has provided crucial new insights into dietary change at the Neolithic transition in north-west Europe, indicating an unexpectedly sudden and radical shift from marine to terrestrial resources in coastal and island locations....

British Iron Age chariot burials of the Arras culture: a multi-isotope approach to investigating mobility levels and subsistence practices (2013)
Journal Article
Jay, M., Montgomery, J., Nehlich, O., Towers, J., & Evans, J. (2013). British Iron Age chariot burials of the Arras culture: a multi-isotope approach to investigating mobility levels and subsistence practices. World Archaeology, 45(3), 473-491. https://doi.org/10.1080/00438243.2013.820647

Iron Age chariot burials in the UK are rare and restricted in their distribution. Historically it has been suggested that their Arras culture affinities with Continental Europe, particularly with the Paris basin in France, may be indicative of migrat...

‘To the land or to the sea' : diet and mobility in early medieval Frisia (2013)
Journal Article
McManus, E., Montgomery, J., Evans, J., Lamb, A., Brettell, R., & Jelsma, J. (2013). ‘To the land or to the sea' : diet and mobility in early medieval Frisia. The Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology, 8(2), 255-277. https://doi.org/10.1080/15564894.2013.787565

This study investigated palaeodiet and population mobility in early medieval Frisia through the stable isotope analysis of individuals buried in the fifth–eighth century AD cemetery of Oosterbeintum, a terp site on the northern coast of the Netherlan...

Childhood diet: a closer examination of the evidence from dental tissues using stable isotope analysis of incremental human dentine (2013)
Journal Article
Beaumont, J., Gledhill, A., Lee-Thorp, J., & Montgomery, J. (2013). Childhood diet: a closer examination of the evidence from dental tissues using stable isotope analysis of incremental human dentine. Archaeometry, 55(2), 277-295. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-4754.2012.00682.x

Incremental dentine analysis utilizes tissue that does not remodel and that permits comparison, at the same age, of those who survived infancy with those who did not at high temporal resolution. Here, we present a pilot study of teeth from a 19th-cen...

Mobility, Mortality, and the Middle Ages: Identification of Migrant Individuals in a 14th Century Black Death Cemetery Population (2013)
Journal Article
Kendall, E., Montgomery, J., Evans, J., Stantis, C., & Mueller, V. (2013). Mobility, Mortality, and the Middle Ages: Identification of Migrant Individuals in a 14th Century Black Death Cemetery Population. American journal of physical anthropology, 150(2), 210-222. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.22194

Mobility and migration patterns of groups and individuals have long been a topic of interest to archaeologists, used for broad explanatory models of cultural change as well as illustrations of historical particularism. The 14th century AD was a tumul... Read More about Mobility, Mortality, and the Middle Ages: Identification of Migrant Individuals in a 14th Century Black Death Cemetery Population.
