Dear all,
Can anyone advise on relative dating using the fluorine content of bone? I
would like to ascertain as to whether a human and an animal burial are
contemporary. This is not clear in the archaeology, they both happen to be
in the same hole on a very muddled site! Would this method prove
non-association? Does anyone use it? Could it be useful to assess
residuality? Would there be a better indicator? Lots of questions, sorry!
Regards, Ray Thirkettle.
