Congratulations to lab manager Dr. Christine Winter-Schuh, former MA candidate and ASIL employee Rebekka Ekkelmann, and ASIL director Prof. Cheryl Makarewicz on their new paper: "Dentin collagen sample geometry impacts pattern of intra-tooth nitrogen and carbon isotope change in taurine teeth" published in Journal of Archaeological Science.
In early June, Dr. Cheryl Makarewicz traveled to the eastern Badia of Jordan to visit the 'Kites in Context' project run by Yorke Rowan and Dr. Austin "Chad" Hill.
Three members of our lab, Dr. Ma'ayan Lev, Dr. Linda Amos, and Prof Cheryl Makarewicz, presented their research at the XVIth international meeting of the ICAZ working group "Archaeozoology of Southwest Asia and Adjacent Areas" (ASWA) in Munich.
Prof. Cheryl Makarewicz, Prof. Alan Outram, and student assistants Alexander Gorelik and Grace Iwachiv traveled to Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, for ten days to identify and sample faunal remains from Eneolithic and Bronze Age sites for stable isotope analyses.
