The role of status, diets, and mobility in understanding the impacts of urbanization in early medieval Bergen, Norway (St. Mary's Church)
This research examines the diets and mobility of higher status individuals buried in the St. Mary's (Mariakirken) churchyard (1140 and 1248 AD), located in Bergen, Norway. Stable isotope data are used to explore the role that diets (preferential access, choice of foods) may have played in mitigating the negative impacts of rapid urbanization. Dietary reconstruction involved analysis of carbon ( δ 13 C) and nitrogen ( δ 15 N) stable isotope ratios…
Something old, something new
The long-term research projects within the Faynan Basin of southern Jordan continue to yield new and unexpected finds of all periods. This report focuses upon the investigation of the region in the Faynan floodplain, an area known from previous archaeological survey and limited excavation. Renewed investigation in 2019 focused upon analysis of the environmental impact of early metallurgy upon the ancient population through the excavation of five …
Exploring childhood mobility in Neolithic Southern France (Roquemissou) using incremental analyses of Sr isotope ratios in tooth enamel
Interpreting medieval mobility from burials at the rock‐hewn church of St. Georges, Gurat (France)
The cave church St. Georges is a hand‐carved limestone cave church located in Gurat, southwestern France, which likely developed from a hermitic site by the High Middle Ages (1001–1300 AD). Gurat is unique in that few bioarchaeological studies of monastic collections, particularly in France, have been conducted. This research represents the first effort to understand who the people at Gurat were, and where they might have travelled from, by emplo…

Maternal diets, nutritional status, and zinc in contemporary Mexican infants' teeth
Despite attempts to use zinc (Zn) concentrations in hard tissues to comment upon the degree of carnivory in past populations, zinc has yielded inconsistent trophic level effects. The question of what, if anything, zinc in human enamel reveals regarding past diets is the focus of this research. We test whether the zinc content of deciduous tooth enamel from contemporary Mexican infants varies by maternal dietary variables such as zinc intake, prop…
Variation in elemental intensities among teeth and between pre‐ and postnatal regions of enamel
Microspatial analyses of the trace element composition of dental enamel are made possible using laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS). Fine spatial resolution, multielement capabilities, and minimal sample destruction make this technique particularly well‐suited for documenting the distribution of elements in sequentially calcifying layers of enamel. Because deciduous enamel forms from week 13 in utero up to 9 mo…
