Objectives Stable isotope analysis of sequential dentine samples is a potentially powerful
method to reveal insights into early life‐histories of individuals in the past. Dentine …

The timing of infant weaning in the past is important for its implications for birth-spacing and
infant survival, and hence for population maintenance or growth under different socio …

Objective To reconstruct breastfeeding and weaning practices, metabolic stress including
tuberculosis-induced wasting, and residential mobility of children in Neolithic and Metal …

Objectives Breastfeeding and childhood diet have significant impact on morbidity and
mortality within a population, and in the ancient Near East, it is possible to compare …

Objectives The growth of tooth dentin is incremental, so its formation represents a dietary
record in early life. With archeological skeletons, applying sequential stable isotope analysis …

Rationale The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the application of serial
sampling of human dentine in archaeology. Rapid development in the field has provided …

Objective This project sought to investigate whether an association may be observed
between isotopic stress indicators and skeletal evidence of pathological conditions …

Reconstructing individual dietary histories at Shamanka II, an Early Neolithic (7000–5700
cal. BP) Kitoi hunter‐gatherer cemetery in Cis‐Baikal, Siberia, revealed surprising …

Instead of the conventional approach to sectioning tooth dentine horizontally for isotope
analysis, a new serial sampling strategy has been developed recently. This new method …

Previous studies have identified differences based on sex in adult diet and age-based
changes in the funerary treatment of children in the Neolithic of northern France. This …
