Official URL: http://antiquity.ac.uk/ant/083/ant0831119.htm Abstract/SummaryStable isotopes get personal in this analysis of burials at a medieval cathedral.

These results, while not so surprising historically, lend much increased confidence that isotope analysis can successfully read the status and mobility of individuals in a cemetery.
