- Additional information
- This cross-institutional research, supported by NERC, demonstrated for the first time that it is possible to associate water transportation pathways with damage to bone. This allows for a transformation in approaches to archaeological and forensic casework, which previously relied on subjective qualitative descriptions. This work has been used in a Channel 4 TV documentaries (Mystery of the Crossrail Skulls) and studies reinterpreting the past (e.g.: Buck et al., 2019 for the Roman Empire; García-Morato et al., 2019 for the Pleistocene).
