In Ireland, in the last decade we have seen a proliferation of isotopic studies in Irish bioarchaeology addressing questions such as paleodiet and paleomobility patterns spanning from the Neolithic to Post-Medieval periods. The Irish Isotope Research Group (IIRG), an innovative multidisciplinary group, was set up to tackle some of the limitations in this field of research in Ireland. A comprehensive strontium isotopic baseline has been established in order to better understand the processes...
