So many opportunities to learn! And did we mention fieldwork?? (Am typing this from Greek island)

And, early life diet studies!
Isotopic values in the bone are similar to the teeth, both differing from long-bones.
The lack of remodelling after the age of 2, reflects the diet in early life.

The petrous bone—A new sampling site for identifying early dietary patterns in stable isotopic studies
Intraskeletal variation in the composition of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes measured in collagen is tested from various human bones and dentine. Samples were taken from the femur,...

The Petrous bone can tell us lots of things!!
Ancient DNA (aDNA) is one! It tells us about genetics in the past!
The density means it preserves the collagen well, which means aDNA extraction for us to analyse!
