Journal Article
Montgomery, J., Budd, P., & Evans, J. (2000). Reconstructing the lifetime movements of ancient people: a Neolithic case study from southern England. European Journal of Archaeology, 3(3), 370-385. https://doi.org/10.1177/146195710000300304

A new procedure is described in which combined lead and strontium isotope analysis of archaeological human dental tissues can be used to comment on the lifetime movements of individuals. A case study is presented of four Neolithic burials – an adult... Read More about Reconstructing the lifetime movements of ancient people: a Neolithic case study from southern England.

Human tooth enamel as a record of the comparative lead exposure of prehistoric and modern people (2000)
Journal Article

Differential diagenesis of strontium in archaeological human dental tissues (2000)
Journal Article
Budd, P., Montgomery, J., Barreiro, B., & Thomas, R. (2000). Differential diagenesis of strontium in archaeological human dental tissues. Applied Geochemistry, 15(5), 687-694. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0883-2927%2899%2900069-4

The investigation of prehistoric human migration from the measurement of Sr-isotope ratios within preserved tissue is critically dependent on the preservation of biogenic Sr. A number of recent studies have involved isotope ratio measurements on samp...
