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.

The nature and history of the Qilian Block in the context of the development of the Greater Tibetan Plateau (2015)
Journal Article
Huang, H., Niu, Y., Nowell, G., Zhao, Z., Yu, X., & Mo, X. (2015). The nature and history of the Qilian Block in the context of the development of the Greater Tibetan Plateau. Gondwana Research, 28(1), 209-224. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2014.02.010

The Palaeozoic granitoids in the Qilian Block are important for understanding the tectonic evolution of the Northern Tibetan Plateau. We choose granitoids from Huangyuan (HY) and Gangcha (Gcha) for a detailed study. The granitoids are S-type and I-ty...

Highly saline fluids from a subducting slab as the source for fluid-rich diamonds (2015)
Journal Article
Weiss, Y., McNeill, J., Pearson, D. G., Nowell, G. M., & Ottley, C. J. (2015). Highly saline fluids from a subducting slab as the source for fluid-rich diamonds. Nature, 524(7565), 339-344. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature14857

The infiltration of fluids into continental lithospheric mantle is a key mechanism for controlling abrupt changes in the chemical and physical properties of the lithospheric root1,2, as well as diamond formation3, yet the origin and composition of th...

Can Fractional Crystallization, Mixing and Assimilation Processes be Responsible for Jamaican-type Adakites? Implications for Generating Eoarchaean Continental Crust (2015)
Journal Article
Hastie, A., Fitton, J., Mitchell, S., Neill, I., Nowell, G., & Millar, I. (2015). Can Fractional Crystallization, Mixing and Assimilation Processes be Responsible for Jamaican-type Adakites? Implications for Generating Eoarchaean Continental Crust. Journal of Petrology, 56(7), 1251-1283. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egv029

Understanding how the Earth’s first continental land masses were generated is important because the processes responsible directly affected the evolution of the planet’s primordial silicate interior, and also its atmosphere and hydrosphere. Archaean... Read More about Can Fractional Crystallization, Mixing and Assimilation Processes be Responsible for Jamaican-type Adakites? Implications for Generating Eoarchaean Continental Crust.

Early Triassic syn-collisional granitoids with mafic magmatic enclaves (MMEs) crop out along the entire East Kunlun Orogenic belt (EKOB) at the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau. They are andesitic in composition and enriched in light rare earth...

Anglo-Saxon origins investigated by isotopic analysis of burials from Berinsfield, Oxfordshire, UK (2013)
Journal Article
Hughes, S., Millard, A., Lucy, S., Chenery, C., Evans, J., Nowell, G., & Pearson, D. (2014). Anglo-Saxon origins investigated by isotopic analysis of burials from Berinsfield, Oxfordshire, UK. Journal of Archaeological Science, 42, 81-92. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2013.10.025

The early fifth century transition from Roman Britain to Anglo-Saxon England is a poorly understood period in British history. Historical narratives describe a brutal conquest by Anglo-Saxon invaders with nearly complete replacement of the indigenous...

Community differentiation is a fundamental topic of the social sciences, and its prehistoric origins in Europe are typically assumed to lie among the complex, densely populated societies that developed millennia after their Neolithic predecessors. He... Read More about Community differentiation and kinship among Europe's first farmers.
