Stable isotope and DNA evidence for ritual sequences in Inca child sacrifice (2007)
Journal Article
Wilson, A., Taylor, T., Ceruti, M., Chavez, J., Reinhard, J., Grimes, V., …Gilbert, T. (2007). Stable isotope and DNA evidence for ritual sequences in Inca child sacrifice. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 104(42), 16456-16461. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0704276104

Four recently discovered frozen child mummies from two of the highest peaks in the south central Andes now yield tantalizing evidence of the preparatory stages leading to Inca ritual killing as represented by the unique capacocha rite. Our interdisci... Read More about Stable isotope and DNA evidence for ritual sequences in Inca child sacrifice.

Diet and diversity at later Medieval Fishergate: The isotopic evidence (2007)
Journal Article
Müldner, G., & Richards, M. (2007). Diet and diversity at later Medieval Fishergate: The isotopic evidence. American journal of physical anthropology, 134(2), 162-174. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.20647

We present the results of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of bone collagen for 155 individuals buried at the Later Medieval (13th to early 16th century AD) Gilbertine priory of St. Andrew, Fishergate in the city of York (UK). The data sho... Read More about Diet and diversity at later Medieval Fishergate: The isotopic evidence.

Neanderthals in Central Asia and Siberia (2007)
Journal Article
Krause, J., Orlando, L., Serre, D., Viola, B., Prüfer, K., Richards, M., …Pääbo, S. (2007). Neanderthals in Central Asia and Siberia. Nature, 449(7164), 902-904. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature06193

Morphological traits typical of Neanderthals began to appear in European hominids at least 400,000 years ago1 and about 150,000 years ago2 in western Asia. After their initial appearance, such traits increased in frequency and the extent to which the... Read More about Neanderthals in Central Asia and Siberia.

The age of Stonehenge (2007)
Journal Article

Stonehenge is the icon of British prehistory, and continues to inspire ingenious investigations and interpretations. A current campaign of research, being waged by probably the strongest archaeological team ever assembled, is focused not just on the... Read More about The age of Stonehenge.

Stable isotope evidence for 1500 years of human diet at the city of York, UK (2007)
Journal Article
Müldner, G., & Richards, M. (2007). Stable isotope evidence for 1500 years of human diet at the city of York, UK. American journal of physical anthropology, 133(1), 682-697. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.20561

We present here the results of a large-scale diachronic palaeodietary (carbon and nitrogen isotopic measurements of bone collagen) study of humans and animals from a single site, the city of York (U.K.), dating from the Roman period to the early 19th...

The Middle Byzantine menu: Palaeodietary information from isotopic analysis of humans and fauna from Kastella, Crete (2007)
Journal Article
Bourbou, C., & Richards, M. (2007). The Middle Byzantine menu: Palaeodietary information from isotopic analysis of humans and fauna from Kastella, Crete. International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 17(1), 63-72. https://doi.org/10.1002/oa.855

We report here on the measurements of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of bone collagen from the Middle Byzantine site of Kastella, in the city of Heraklion, on the island of Crete, Greece. The data derived from the analysis suggest a diet based p... Read More about The Middle Byzantine menu: Palaeodietary information from isotopic analysis of humans and fauna from Kastella, Crete.
