A light stable isotope (C, N, H, O) approach to identifying movement of medieval textiles in North West Europe

This thesis examined how light stable isotopic analysis could be used to examine the provenance of archaeological wool textiles preserved by anoxic waterlogging. Preliminary studies in modern sheep wool samples showed that their carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N), un-exchangeable hydrogen (δ2H) and oxyg...
