Dr. Hannah James

I will be joining the ERC Lumiere team as a postdoctoral researcher in June 2021. I have completed a Master of Archaeological Science (Research) and a PhD in Archaeological Science at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. My PhD thesis focused on using in situ oxygen and strontium isotopic analysis on archaeological human tooth enamel and on mapping bioavailable strontium in mainland France, Corsica and New Caledonia to assist in archaeological mobility studies. I have also worked on a project mapping bioavailable strontium in Portugal and analysing tooth enamel and dentine and cremated bone from a range of Portuguese archaeological sites.
