The origins of nomadic pastoralism in the eastern Jordanian steppe: a combined stable isotope and chipped stone assessment (2018)
Journal Article
Miller, H., Baird, D., Pearson, J., Lamb, A., Grove, M., Martin, L., & Garrard, A. (2018). The origins of nomadic pastoralism in the eastern Jordanian steppe: a combined stable isotope and chipped stone assessment. Levant, 50(3), 281-304. https://doi.org/10.1080/00758914.2019.1651560

The circumstances in which domestic animals were first introduced to the arid regions of the Southern Levant and the origins of nomadic pastoralism, have been the subject of considerable debate. Nomadic pastoralism was a novel herd management practic... Read More about The origins of nomadic pastoralism in the eastern Jordanian steppe: a combined stable isotope and chipped stone assessment.

Journal Article
Miller, H., Chenery, C., Lamb, A. L., Sloane, H., Carden, R. F., Atici, L., & Sykes, N. (2019). The relationship between the phosphate and structural carbonate fractionation of fallow deer bioapatite in tooth enamel. Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 33(2), 151-164. https://doi.org/10.1002/rcm.8324

Rationale The species‐specific relationship between phosphate (δ18OP values) and structural carbonate (δ18OC values) oxygen isotope ratios has been established for several modern and fossil animal species but until now it has not been investigated...

The Anglo-Normans first introduced fallow deer (Dama dama) to Ireland in the thirteenth century, however no biomolecular research has previously been undertaken to examine the timing, circumstances and impact of the arrival of this species. This stud... Read More about Ireland’s fallow deer: their historical, archaeological and biomolecular records.
