What does a bear-baiting assemblage look like? Interdisciplinary analysis of an Early Modern 'sport
Bear baiting was a popular form of entertainment in Shakespearean England that was staged across the country but formalised in the Early Modern entertainment hub on Bankside, London. Here, the authors bring together zooarchaeological, stable isotope and archival evidence in the examination of faunal assemblages from nine archaeological sites on Bankside to elucidate characteristics indicative of bear baiting. In doing so, they present criteria fo…
Between valleys, plateaus, and mountains
Seasonal altitudinal mobility has been a key practice among pastoral societies in the north-eastern Iberian Peninsula to cope with the unpredictable Mediterranean climate. The existence of a massive and regulated mobile herding system in this area dates back to the 12th century. Nevertheless, early herd connections between the lowlands and the Pyrenees during the Roman period have been documented. The available information regarding the potential…
Farming and feasting during the Bronze Age–Iron Age transition in Britain (ca. 900–500 bce)
The Late Bronze Age saw the rise of a new site type in southern Britain, commonly termed a midden. These vast monumental mounds, some comprising tens of thousands of artefacts/ecofacts dominated by animal bone and ceramics, signal a societal refocus towards agricultural intensification and communal feasting on a grand scale. These sites point to agricultural produce being the mainstay of the economy, with bronze having a reduced social and econom…
Feeding the Roman Army in Britain
How did the Roman Empire supply and maintain its frontier garrisons? What was the impact on populations and landscapes of conquered territories? TheFeeding the Roman Army in Britainproject will answer these questions by establishing how soldiers were provisioned and how frontiers operated as economic as well as militarised zones
A veritable confusion
The expansion of isotope analyses has transformed the study of past migration and mobility, sometimes providing unexpected and intriguing results. This has, in turn, led to media attention (and concomitant misrepresentation) and scepticism from some archaeologists. Such scepticism is healthy and not always without foundation. Isotope analysis is yet to reach full maturity and challenging issues remain, concerning diagenesis, biosphere mapping res…

Understanding Middle Neolithic food and farming in and around the Stonehenge World Heritage Site
Little synthesis of evidence for Middle Neolithic food and farming in Wiltshire, particularly in and around the Stonehenge World Heritage Site (WHS) has been possible, until now, due to a paucity of assemblages. The excavation of a cluster of five Middle Neolithic pits and an inhumation burial at West Amesbury Farm (WAF) has prompted a review of our understanding of pit sites of this period from the county. Bioarchaeological assemblages are used …
Δ 18 O-inferred salinity from Littorina littorea (L.) gastropods in a Danish shell midden at the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition
Norsminde Fjord has received extensive geoarchaeological investigation, hosting one of the classic Stone Age shell midden sites in Denmark, and one of the best examples of the widespread oyster decline at the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition. Here, intra-shell δ 18 O (and δ 13 C) analyses from the common periwinkle Littorina littorea (L.) are used to infer inter-annual environmental changes at the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition (four from each pe…
The Preservation and Interpretation of δ 34 S Values in Charred Archaeobotanical Remains
The measurement of sulphur isotope (δ 34 S) values in charred plant remains has the potential to inform understanding of the spatial configuration and ecology of crop production. We investigated the effects of charring, manuring, oxidation and anaerobic soil conditions on modern cereal grain/pulse seed δ 34 S values, and assessed the effect of chemical pre‐treatment on charred modern and archaeobotanical grain/seed δ 34 S values. We used these re…
The origins of nomadic pastoralism in the eastern Jordanian steppe
The circumstances in which domestic animals were first introduced to the arid regions of the southern Levant and the origins of nomadic pastoralism have been the subject of considerable debate. Nomadic pastoralism was a novel herd management practice with implications for the economic, social and cultural development of Neolithic communities inhabiting steppe and early village environs. Combining faunal stable isotope and chipped stone analyses f…

Bronze Age subsistence strategies in the southeastern Carpathian Bend area, Romania
A multi‐isotope investigation of diet and subsistence amongst island and mainland populations from early medieval western B ritain
Objectives This is the first investigation of dietary practices amongst multiple early medieval populations (AD 500–1000) from Wales and the Isle of Man using carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur isotope analysis. The analysis will illuminate similarities or differences between the diets and subsistence strategies of populations occupying different geographical regions, specifically those living in marginal coastal regions in comparison to inland popula…
Wild to domestic and back again
This paper presents the results of the first comprehensive scientific study of the fallow deer, a non-native species whose medieval-period introduction to Britain transformed the cultural landscape. It brings together data from traditional zooarchaeological analyses with those derived from new ageing techniques as well as the results of a programme of radiocarbon dating, multi-element isotope studies and genetic analyses. These new data are here …

Stable isotope analysis of soft tissues from mummified human remains
Mummies are faunal remains that include the preservation of soft tissues, such as skin, muscle, nails and hair as well as bone. These soft tissues are generally rich in collagen or keratin proteins and thus provide potentially suitable material for stable isotope studies. When preserved, such tissues can provide high-resolution information about the diet and migration of humans in the weeks and months before death. Hair, nails and soft tissue pro…
Wrappings of power
A well-preserved burial, discovered during peat clearing on Langwell Farm in Strath Oykel, Easter Ross, consisted of a stone cist that held the skeleton of a woman who had died in 2200–1960 cal bc. Although the cist contents were disturbed and partly removed before archaeological investigation took place, the burial rite can be interpreted to some extent. The woman, who died in her late 20s, had been wrapped in brown cattle hide, and wooden and w…
Dead or alive? Investigating long-distance transport of live fallow deer and their body parts in antiquity
The extent to which breeding populations of fallow deer were established in Roman Europe has been obscured by the possibility that the skeletal remains of the species, in particular Dama foot bones and antlers, were traded over long distances as objects in their own right. This paper sets out to refine our understanding of the evidence for the transportation of living and dead fallow deer in Iron Age and Roman Europe. To achieve this, museum arch…

Oxygen and strontium isotope evidence for mobility in Roman Winchester
Impious Easterners
Considerable debate persists concerning the origins of those involved in the adventus Saxonum : the arrival of Germanic peoples in Britain during the fifth century AD. This question was investigated using oxygen and strontium isotope ratios obtained from archaeological dental samples from individuals in the ‘Migration Period’ cemetery, Ringlemere, Kent ( n = 7) and three continental European sites ( n = 17). Results demonstrated that strontium al…

A 9000-year oxygen and carbon isotope record of hydrological change in a small Ethiopian crater lake
The stable isotope composition of authigenic calcites in a core from Lake Tilo, a small crater lake in the Ethiopian Rift Valley, provides a subcentury scale record of lake response to climatic change over the last 8850 14 C yrs (9850 cal. yrs). An unusually high range of δ 18 O and δ 13 C values (~15,) is attributed, in part, to major changes in hydrothermal groundwater flux. Although hydrothermal groundwater influx to the lake was high during t…

A review of coastal palaeoclimate and relative sea-level reconstructions using δ13C and C/N ratios in organic material
Seasonality of δ 13 C and C/N ratios in modern and mid-Holocene sediments in the Severn Estuary Levels, SW Britain
Bulk organic δ 13 C and C/N ratios from mid-Holocene salt-marsh deposits with sedimentary banding reveal subtle but significant differences between coarse- and fine-grained deposits. These are consistent with findings from seasonally sampled modern silts, and with the interpretation, on physical and palynological grounds, of the fine-grained and coarse-grained components as warm-season and cold-season deposits, respectively. The control is consid…

Oxygen and strontium isotope evidence for mobility in Roman Winchester
The oxygen isotope relationship between the phosphate and structural carbonate fractions of human bioapatite
RATIONALE: Oxygen isotope analysis of archaeological human dental enamel is widely used as a proxy for the drinking water composition (δ(18)O(DW)) of the individual and thus can be used as an indicator of their childhood place of origin. In this paper we demonstrate the robustness of structural carbonate oxygen isotope values (δ(18)O(C)) in bioapatite to preserve the life signal of human tooth enamel by comparing it with phosphate oxygen isotope …
