Annie Bones
PhD student
Annie is a PhD student at the University of York using amino acid compound specific isotope analysis to investigate temporal variations to diet in southern Brazil.
Annie previously completed both her MSc and BSc at the University of York, where she researched marine resource exploitation by Iron Age humans at Orkney using compound specific isotope analysis and bulk stable isotope analysis.
Her PhD research, contributing to WP3, aims to provide greater dietary resolution for southern Brazilian coastal populations prior to, and as a result of colonial influences. She will analyse carbon and nitrogen isotopes from individual amino acids (CSIA) extracted from human and faunal remains in order to reconstruct food webs, and to investigate the impact of cultural transitions to human diet on the marine environment.
