Needles in a haystack? From population level isotope profiles to individual life histories

The application of stable isotope analytical techniques in an archaeological context enables the study of both population and individual level patterns of diet and mobility. Building on case studies from early historic to late medieval Scotland, Dr. Orsolya Czére aims to demonstrate the utility of multi-isotope approaches in studying not only broad-scale societal dietary trends and patterns of mobility, but their value in revealing individual diachronic life-histories.

Biography

Dr. Orsolya Czére is a teaching and research fellow at the University of Aberdeen with a keen interest in the study of past diet, mobility and physiology, using stable isotope analytical approaches. Dr. Czére recently completed her AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and HES (Historic Environment Scotland) funded doctoral Research at Aberdeen, focusing on the reconstruction of early historic to late medieval dietscapes in Central and North-East Scotland.
