- Abstract:
- New techniques in isotope biogeochemistry will be applied to study archaeological immigration and settlement. The project continues development of new science, combined Pb-, Sr- and O-isotope analysis of archaeological biometerials, applied to discriminate between population groups and constrain the place of origin of individuals among archaeological burial groups. An additional consequence of the methodology is the potential also to examine the history of human Pb exposure. The project will advance archaeological isotope biogeochemistry in three principal areas: a) by application of the existing methodology in selected early medieval case studies, b) evaluation of lead exposure in pre-metallurgical societies, and c) by refinement of the current approach and the development of more advanced and robust techniques.
