About Prof Justin Bradfield
Main research projects
Exploring taxonomic identification of pervasively modified bone tools: using two techniques (collagen biomarkers and CT-rendered bone histology) I explore avenues for non-destructively identifying which mammal taxa people were targeting for tool manufacture and the extent to which this representation might differ over time.
Biochemical characterisation of poison residues on Stone Age hunting kits: to explore the antiquity and variability of indigenous knowledge systems by looking at the plant ingredients used to poison weapons.
