First successful detection of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone in multiple human hard tissues, and their use as potential biomarkers of pregnancy
Ivory from early Anglo-Saxon burials in Lincolnshire – A biomolecular study
Ivory bag rings have been found in more than 70 cemeteries across southern, central, and eastern England dating to between the late-5th and 7th centuries AD. These rings are most frequently found in richly furnished female graves, and would have served as the framework for bags that hung at the waist. Debate over the source of this ivory has prevailed since the 19th century, with walrus and mammoth ivory considered as possible contenders to eleph…
Among his fellows cast’: A histotaphonomic investigation into the impact of the Black Death in England
Vitamin D Deficiency Rickets In Early Medieval Wales: A Multi-Methodological Case Study
An early medieval cemetery dating to between the eighth and eleventh centuries AD was excavated beneath St Patrick’s Chapel at Whitesands Bay, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The cemetery population includes adult males, females and a large proportion of non-adults below 18 years of age. Osteological analysis revealed a case of vitamin D deficiency rickets in a 2–3 year old child, which was further confirmed through the histological analysis of the first p…

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…
No Man is an island: Evidence of pre-Viking Age migration to the Isle of Man
Evidence of early medieval trade and migration between Wales and the Mediterranean Sea region
Microcosms of Migration: Children and Early Medieval Population Movement
This paper discusses the participation of children in migration during the Viking Age. While the written evidence is limited, it, nonetheless, reveals the presence of children alongside the viking armies and their involvement in the acculturation process, especially older children. A small number of unusual Viking-Age burials of older children support the deduction drawn from the written record of the importance of this stage of the lifecycle. Fi…
