> according to Evans et al 2012, but this has been seen as a 'nonlocal' level for ppl buried in the suburbs of Rome....
@caitlinrgreen your research is really amazing reading all that stuff academics is such a hard job needs so much passion :)
@Umarkarim89 You're very kind :)
@caitlinrgreen haha quite a compliment, wishing i cud hv this passion in my studies as i intend to make this my source of a bit earining:D
@Umarkarim89 You will, I'm sure :)
@caitlinrgreen haha i will hope so in both things :D Thanks a lot Dr. Caitlin :)
@caitlinrgreen isotopes are cool and all but they can change ever couple generations, if the family is mobile enough
@dubhthach Oh, agreed--in fact, only show 1st gen immigrants, if even that much! But in this case, ox level clearly higher than London+Rome!
@caitlinrgreen now we just need them to use "Petrous bone" technique to recover aDNA (100x better than teeth for DNA survival)
@caitlinrgreen could than compare with the existing 10 aDNA genomes from Britain :)
@dubhthach DNA work was done on her, apparently matched to Spain...which is intriguing, as her oxygen isotope results might suggest similar!
@caitlinrgreen rather unfortunate it was only mtDNA, or so this rather unfortunated headline article says: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/roman-yuppie-had-spanish-genes-1110175.html …
@caitlinrgreen these days they are extracting full genomes, just published first 26 Anatolian neolithic genomes for example.
