Hyland

Dr. Corrie Hyland has begun working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Stable Isotopes at the University of York for the Seeing the Dead project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council of UK Research and Innovation. The Seeing the Dead project investigates the funerary custom, attested in Roman Yorkshire in the 3rd and 4th centuries CE, of pouring liquid gypsum over the bodies of adults and children in coffins of wood, stone, or lead before burial. The [...]

Our fifth BAP MORS of 2024! These seminars are a great way to learn and connect with our international team on a regular basis. November 26, 2024: Corrie Hyland (University of Oxford). “Expanding stable hydrogen isotope analysis across Cis- and Trans-Baikal: implications for dietary, mobility and reservoir effect research” Thank you to Corrie for presenting her interesting research!

Corrie Hyland (BAP PhD student, University of Oxford) recently participated in a public outreach event hosted by the Oxford Museum of Natural History called “Museums Late Night: Water World”. The evening event was held on Friday, May 17 and was based on a wide range of research around the theme of freshwater. She had a great time hosting a stall and talking to people during the event! Corrie’s stall for this event included a poster on reservoir effect corrections [...]

Corrie Hyland (BAP PhD student, University of Oxford) presented a poster entitled “Diving Deeper into Ancient Hunter Gatherer Diets: Amino Acid Stable isotope Approaches” for the University of Oxford Social Science Division DPhil Welcome event back in October 2023. The division hosts a poster session and drinks reception each year where incoming DPhil students from the Social Science Division learn what support the division offers them and see the wide range of research current DPhil students are working on. [...]

Corrie Hyland (BAP PhD student, University of Oxford) recently presented a talk entitled “Amino acid-specific approaches to radiocarbon freshwater reservoir corrections” at the UK Archaeological Science Conference. Photos are from her presentation, beautiful York, and two geese Corrie passed by regularly on her walk through York campus. : )
