Typical projects involving stable isotopes and researchers from
the Department of Archaeology:
Studies of palaeo-ecology through isotopic analyses of
residues from archaeological sites.
Diets of prehistoric hunter-gatherers on the Southern
African coast.
Analysis of oxygen isotope ratios in mid-Holocene shells from the western
Cape coast, to investigate possible mid-Holocene warming of sea surface
temperatures. (in conjunction with Antonieta 'Chopi' Jerardino)
Diets of Iron Age peoples
Diets and life histories of early colonial people, including slaves.
