Beyond the Ubaid: Transformation and Integration in the Late Prehistoric Societies of the Middle East (2010)
Book
Carter, R., & Philip, G. (Eds.). (2010). Beyond the Ubaid: Transformation and Integration in the Late Prehistoric Societies of the Middle East. Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago

Originally coined to signify a style of pottery in southern Iraq, and by extension an associated people and a chronological period, the term "Ubaid" is now often used loosely to denote a vast Near Eastern interaction zone, characterized by similariti...

Passports from the past: Investigating human dispersals using strontium isotope analysis of tooth enamel (2010)
Journal Article
Montgomery, J. (2010). Passports from the past: Investigating human dispersals using strontium isotope analysis of tooth enamel. Annals of Human Biology, 37(3), 325-346. https://doi.org/10.3109/03014461003649297

Strontium isotopes are a powerful tool which provide information about provenance directly from the tissues of humans rather than the grave context and burial goods. Geographical variation in strontium isotopes is primarily controlled by the underlyi...

Adaptation of populations to changing environments: Bioarchaeological perspectives on health for the past, present and future (2010)
Journal Article
Roberts, C. (2010). Adaptation of populations to changing environments: Bioarchaeological perspectives on health for the past, present and future. Bulletins et mémoires de la Société d'anthropologie de Paris (En ligne), 22(1-2), 38-46. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13219-010-0008-9

This paper explores the contribution bioarchaeology has made, and is making, to our understanding of past health. It focuses on the importance of research on the bioarchaeology of ill health for the past, present and future, the history of its develo...

‘The most ancient Boundary between England and Scotland’: Genealogies of the Roman Wall(s) (2010)
Journal Article
Hingley, R. (2010). ‘The most ancient Boundary between England and Scotland’: Genealogies of the Roman Wall(s). Classical Receptions Journal, 2(1), 25-43. https://doi.org/10.1093/crj/clq001

Drawing upon the writings of English, Scottish and Irish authors, this article explores the conceptual spaces created through the medium of the two Roman Walls of Britain. Late seventeenth- to early twentieth-century texts are addressed to explore ho... Read More about ‘The most ancient Boundary between England and Scotland’: Genealogies of the Roman Wall(s).

Evidence for long-term averaging of strontium in bovine enamel using TIMS and LA-MC-ICP-MS strontium isotope intra-molar profiles (2010)
Journal Article
Montgomery, J., Evans, J., & Horstwood, M. (2010). Evidence for long-term averaging of strontium in bovine enamel using TIMS and LA-MC-ICP-MS strontium isotope intra-molar profiles. Environmental Archaeology, 15(1), 32-42. https://doi.org/10.1179/146141010x12640787648694

High spatial resolution micro-sampling of tooth enamel offers the possibility of high temporal resolution isotope data to reconstruct climate, environment, diet and mobility. Questions remain about the duration and pattern of the maturation phase of...

Isotopic investigation of diet and residential mobility in the Neolithic of the Lower Rhine Basin (2010)
Journal Article
Smits, E., Millard, A., Nowell, G., & Pearson, D. (2010). Isotopic investigation of diet and residential mobility in the Neolithic of the Lower Rhine Basin. European Journal of Archaeology, 13(1), 5-31. https://doi.org/10.1177/1461957109355040

Multiple isotopic systems (C, N, O, S, Sr, Pb) are applied to investigate diet and mobility amongst the Middle Neolithic populations at Schipluiden and Swifterbant (Netherlands). A review of carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of European Mesolithic... Read More about Isotopic investigation of diet and residential mobility in the Neolithic of the Lower Rhine Basin.
