I'm looking for some prehistoric mainland Scottish animal bone for carbon,
nitrogen & sulphur stable isotope analysis, to be fitted into a much larger
project. In my ideal world, this bone would be:
1. From a site on the east coast of Scotland (to refine it even further, East
Lothian would be particularly good);
2. It would be from the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age period and there might
even be material from either side of that (Neolithic through to Iron Age would
be good);
3. There would be several domesticated herbivores present (at least six
cattle/sheep for each general time period).
As I understand it, there is very little available. If you have anything which
includes pre- or early Iron Age material & is from anywhere in mainland
Scotland, I'd be really interested. My sampling would require only around 1g
of bone from each individual. If anyone can fill all three criteria, Santa
will have been working overtime...
