Members of religious orders during the later medieval period in Britain were expected to adhere to strict rules governing their daily lives which restricted their consumption of meat. This study aims to investigate whether this switch to a ‘religious... Read More about From Field to Fish: Tracking Changes in Diet on Entry to Two Medieval Friaries in Northern England.

Crystallographic texture and mineral concentration quantification of developing and mature human incisal enamel (2018)
Journal Article

For human dental enamel, what is the precise mineralization progression spatially and the precise timing of mineralization? This is an important question in the fundamental understanding of matrix-mediated biomineralization events, but in particular...

Isotopic evidence for landscape use and the role of causewayed enclosures during the earlier Neolithic in southern Britain (2018)
Journal Article
Neil, S., Evans, J., Montgomery, J., & Scarre, C. (2018). Isotopic evidence for landscape use and the role of causewayed enclosures during the earlier Neolithic in southern Britain. Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 84, 185-205. https://doi.org/10.1017/ppr.2018.6

The nature of landscape use and residence patterns during the British earlier Neolithic has often been debated. Here we use strontium and oxygen isotope analysis of tooth enamel, from individuals buried at the Hambledon Hill causewayed enclosure monu...
