Reconstructing the lifetime movements of ancient people: a Neolithic case study from southern England (2000)
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
Budd, P., Montgomery, J., Evans, J., & Barreiro, B. (2000). Human tooth enamel as a record of the comparative lead exposure of prehistoric and modern people. Science of the Total Environment, 263(1-3), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0048-9697%2800%2900604-5

There is a considerable body of evidence to support the contention that the atmospheric Pb burden is now considerably greater than it was in the remote past. However, as there are a diversity of potential environmental pathways leading to Pb ingestio...

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...
