“…However there is no evidence for a WHG resurgence in the British Neolithic up to the Chalcolithic population movements associated with the Beaker phenomenon (c.4.5 kBP) 8 . This is consistent with the lack of evidence for Mesolithic cultural artefacts in Britain much beyond 6 kBP 14 and with a major dietary shift at this time from marine to terrestrial resources; particularly apparent along the British Atlantic coast [33][34][35] .In summary, our results indicate that the progression of the Neolithic in Britain was unusual when compared to other previously studied European regions. Rather than reflecting the slow admixture processes that occurred between ANFs and local hunter-gatherer groups in areas of continental Europe, we infer a British Neolithic proceeding with little introgression from resident foragers -either during initial colonization phase, or throughout the Neolithic.…”

“…However, issues with using stable isotope analyses to detect potentially much more subtle changes in diet have been highlighted by Milner et al (2004), Bonsall et al (2009), and Charlton et al (2016); namely that the use of linear interpolation between terrestrial and marine δ 13 C end-members to estimate marine resource consumption in humans has a large error of up to 20%, and that faunal baselines must be better defined when dealing with humans that may have consumed marine resources. The present study seeks to address both issues.…”

“…Thus, the following section will shortly summarise other emerging and established methods, and highlight how they can be integrated into dynamic research designs related specifically to past bone and antler objects. ZooMS (zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry) is rapidly developing a protein-based biomolecular method, which analyses peptide fragments in the protein collagen (e.g., Welker et al 2015;Charlton et al 2016). It is based on the fact that every animal family group has a unique presence and combination of certain masses, and these differences in mass can be used for taxonomic identification when comparing a sample and the reference collection.…”
