A new method for investigating the relationship between diet and mortality: hazard analysis using dietary isotopes (2019)
Journal Article

Background: The population of Roman Britain are renowned for having elevated nitrogen (δ15) stable isotope values, which have been interpreted as evidence for the increased consumption of marine products. However, such results are now understood to a... Read More about A new method for investigating the relationship between diet and mortality: hazard analysis using dietary isotopes.

Investigating dietary patterns and organisational structure by using stable isotope analysis: a pilot study of the Danish medieval leprosy hospital at Næstved (2019)
Journal Article

During the 12th and 13th centuries, numerous leprosy hospitals were founded in Europe. Given that leprosy was not considered infectious, this may reflect social dimensions of the disease. Aiming at exploring the impact of leprosy on medieval people a...
