Cattle teeth excavated by V. Gordon Childe at Jarlshof are providing new insights into Neolithic farmers of Shetland. Dr Ros Gillis explains how compound specific and bulk stable isotopic analysis of enamel and dental cementum indicate winter grazing of seagrass consumption.
Dr Rosalind Gillis BSc PhD, ICArEHB is a researcher at ICArEHB (Faro), she integrates cutting edge statistics, archaeozoology and stable isotopes to uncover traces of prehistoric herding practices and its impact on societal evolution and landscape transformation.
