Munro Lecture - 'Isotopic snapshots'

Isotopic analysis has revolutionized archaeology by extracting atomic-scale narratives from biological tissues. This presentation synthesizes 15,000 years of human history through a series of case studies, illustrating how isotopic proxies reconstruct past environments and human behaviours. Furthermore, the archaeological drive for methodological refinement has endowed these techniques with significant contemporary relevance. This talk will argue that isotopic archaeology provides an indispensable link between deep-time research and the pressing social and environmental questions of our present and future.
