The majority of them are found on Chalk and the putative source region is alsoChalk. This has meant that a study using only strontium isotopes to identify mobile individuals is problematic. Here we present a range of isotope ratio data (strontium, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and sulphur) for seven Chariot burials from Wetwang, Garton Station and Kirkburn. The majority of them are men and women who were born and lived locally, although the individual from Kirkburn is likely to have spent his childhood elsewhere. They do, however, differ quite subtly from others in the local population, probably in their relationship to a local land use pattern operating between two distinct biospheres.

A bioarchaeological approach to the Iron Age in Switzerland: stable isotope analyses (δ13C, δ15N, δ34S) of human remains

“…The pig showed the highest value of 8.0‰ (Table 2). Since there is just little fractionation between consumer and food (Jay et al 2013;Nehlich et al 2011), the human sulfur values indicate a terrestrial-based diet for Iron Age Switzerland. It should be kept in mind that the faunal data represent more or less the local value.…”

“…The technique of stable isotope ratio analysis is a frequently used tool to assess dietary habits, to obtain information about social stratification and mobility of past populations (Dupras and Schwarcz 2001;Fuller et al 2012;Jay et al 2013;Jay and Richards 2006;Katzenberg 2008;Knipper et al 2016;Lösch et al 2006).…”

Breaking Traditions: An Isotopic Study on the Changing Funerary Practices in the Dutch Iron Age (800–12 bc)

“…Isotopes of different elements have commonly been used to explore the extent of human mobility in Iron Age Europe (e.g., Jay et al . , ; Scheeres et al . ; Wilhelmson and Ahlström ), animal trade or exchange (Minniti et al .…”

Research on British and American Culture Development Pattern from the Angles of Metaphor and Idioms

“…(3) The basic category words in language cognition are very basic and very important. The basic category words are words syllable is less, not native words, the analysis of the composition has a great deal of arbitrariness in the early, these words are children's first acquisition, many subordinate word derived from the basic category of the word, the basic category words than any other of category words with more metaphorical usages [9][10].…”
