This article presents a comprehensive overview of the key archeological and forensic questions addressed by Sr–O–C isotope analysis of burnt skeletal remains. By examining the current state of the art and prospects, we aim to contribute to a broader understanding and potential advancements in the field of forensic isotope research.

In this epilogue, Garidou, Winkelmolen and van Houtum draw upon an inspiring and thought-provoking anthology of chapters on borders, boundaries, liminality, and transgression.

In this paper, Winkelmolen, Garidou and van Houtum analyze the “Colosseum interview” of former U.K. Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, in which he pleads for fierce border control against refugees, “like the Romans did.”

Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) has become one of the standard applications in the field of paleogenomics in recent years. However, its application in archaeology has been limited and primarily focused on humans. This article argues …
