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. : )
Congratulations to BAP graduate student Corrie Hyland, who was awarded best student paper at the recent Radiocarbon and Diet Conference, held June 20-23 at the University of Oxford! Along with the title, Corrie was awarded 100GBP (kindly sponsored by IonPlus)! Title: Using Amino Acid Isotope Values to Determine Freshwater Reservoir Offsets Authors: Corrie Hyland, Amy Styring, Rick Schulting, Andrzej Weber Abstract: Previous paired dating studies of early hunter-gatherer populations from the Upper Lena and Little Sea microregions in Cis-Baikal [...]
Corrie Hyland and Karolina Werens, our BAP PhD students from University fof Oxford, recently organized a BAP Symposium at the Society for American Archaeology Meetings, Portland, Oregon, March 29-April 2, 2023. SYMPOSIUM NORTHEAST ASIAN PREHISTORIC HUNTER-GATHER LIFEWAYS: MULTIDISCIPLINARY, INDIVIDUAL LIFE HISTORY APPROACH Chairs: Corrie Hyland and Karolina Werens Andrzej Weber: Discussant Andrzej Weber and Olga Goriunova: Early Bronze Age Cemeteries on Lake Baikal, Siberia: Their History and Patterns of Use Corrie Hyland, Rick Schulting, Amy Styring and Andrzej Weber: [...]
Note from Rick Schulting: BAP members Rick Schulting and Corrie Hyland participated in a recent Animals Make Identities (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/animals-make-identities) project meeting 15-18 November, led by Dr. Kristiina Mannermaa and held at the University of Helsinki’s marine research station (every university should have one) at Tvärminne. Highlight (other than the excellent research papers) was the proper Finnish sauna – no snakes allowed! Photo of no snakes poster by Eileen Murphy. Unfortunately, action photos from Finnish sauna are unavailable. Great looking [...]
A note from Corrie about her research: I’ve been conducting lab work at the University of Bristol, School of Chemistry as part of a successful NEIF funding application. I am preparing archaeological and modern bone collagen samples from Lake Baikal for amino acid specific stable isotope analysis to better understand the dietary consumption of freshwater resources. In this first image I am using flash column chromatography as part of the sample preparation. The first results of screening using the [...]
We have a new BAP team member! Ms. Corrie Hyland is a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford and she joins the Baikal Archaeology Project under the joint supervision of Drs. Amy Styring, Rick Schulting and Andrzej Weber. Specializing in stable isotope analysis, Corrie will be working to further develop the freshwater reservoir correction methods that refine the microregion chronologies of Lake Baikal. She will be expanding on the use of stable hydrogen and sulfur isotope analysis, as [...]
