Reconstructing Life Histories: New Insights Into Cremation Practices, Mobility, and Food Consumption Patterns Through Isotope and Infrared Analyses of Petrous Parts and Teeth
This graph shows the strontium results of the individuals from Herstal, Belgium.
📢 New paper alert! 📢
I’m really happy to share our latest publication in AJBA! We explore how sampling cremated petrous parts & teeth helps reconstruct life histories and cremation practices 🔥. You can find our paper through this link: doi.org/10.1002/ajpa... (1/6)

The image shows a simple blue line drawing on a white textured background. There's a figure of a person pointing at a rectangular sign or board that contains text. The text on the board reads: "DO UNTO THE EARTH AS YOU WANT DONE UNTO THE EARTH" - a environmental take on the golden rule. The drawing has a handmade, sketch-like quality with the person and message rendered in blue ink.

So excited to share our accepted manuscript! It sets up a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe.
Phytolith researchers working on reference materials know how time-consuming this type of work is 🥵, I hope it will be useful to many.
Happy reading soon and feel free to reach out!
