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
Killgrove, K., & Montgomery, J. (2016). 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). PLoS ONE, 11(2), Article e0147585. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0147585

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...

Dating Palaeolithic cave art: why U-Th is the way to go (2016)
Journal Article
Pike, A., Hoffmann, D., Pettitt, P., García-Diez, M., & Zilhão, J. (2016). Dating Palaeolithic cave art: why U-Th is the way to go. Quaternary International, 432(B), 41-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2015.12.013

The chronology of European Upper Palaeolithic cave art is poorly known. Three chronometric techniques are commonly applicable: AMS 14C, TL and U–Th, and in recent years the efficacy of each has been the subject of considerable debate. We review here...

‘Til Poison Phosphorous Brought them Death’: A potentially occupationally-related disease in a post-medieval skeleton from north-east England (2016)
Journal Article
Roberts, C., Caffell, A., Filipek-Ogden, K., Gowland, R., & Jakob, T. (2016). ‘Til Poison Phosphorous Brought them Death’: A potentially occupationally-related disease in a post-medieval skeleton from north-east England. International Journal of Paleopathology, 13, 39-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpp.2015.12.001

This paper describes the pathological changes observed on the skeleton of a c.12–14 year old person buried in a north-east England Quaker cemetery dated to AD 1711–1857. Bone formation (woven and lamellar) and destruction are present mainly on the ma...

Confidence Intervals in the Analysis of Mortality and Survivorship Curves in Zooarchaeology (2016)
Journal Article
Price, M., Wolfhagen, J., & Otárola-Castillo, E. (2016). Confidence Intervals in the Analysis of Mortality and Survivorship Curves in Zooarchaeology. American Antiquity, 81(1), 157-173. https://doi.org/10.7183/0002-7316.81.1.157

The analysis of age-at-death data, derived from epiphyseal fusion and dental eruption/wear patterns, is one of the most powerful tools at the disposal of zooarchaeologists studying past hunting and herd management practices. Zooarchaeologists typical... Read More about Confidence Intervals in the Analysis of Mortality and Survivorship Curves in Zooarchaeology.

Assembling places and persons: a tenth-century Viking boat burial from Swordle Bay on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, western Scotland (2016)
Journal Article
Harris, O. J., Cobb, H., Batey, C. E., Montgomery, J., Beaumont, J., Gray, H., …Richardson, P. (2017).

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.

Isotopic evidence for residential mobility of farming communities during the transition to agriculture in Britain (2016)
Journal Article
Neil, S., Evans, J., Montgomery, J., & Scarre, C. (2016). Isotopic evidence for residential mobility of farming communities during the transition to agriculture in Britain. Royal Society Open Science, 3(1), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.150522

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.
