Reconstructing prehistoric lifeways using multi-Isotope analyses of human enamel, dentine, and bone from Legaire Sur, Spain Megalithism has been repetitively tied to specialised herding economies in Iberia, particularly in the mountainous areas of the Basque Country. Legaire Sur, in the uplands of Álava region, is a recent...

Today my new paper was published in Plos One. High-resolution Neolithic life history reconstructions using Incremental dentine, bone collagen, and multi-enamel sampling! I'm really pleased with this one
