The aim of this project is to examine isotopes in the teeth of individuals from three sites in prehistoric central Myanmar to examine diet, the movement and migration of people, and potential patterns in post-marital residence, which are all intricately linked. Built on a strong conceptual framework this project seeks to generate new information in the field of archaeological science. The research outcomes of this project will expand our current archaeological knowledge of this focal but under-researched area, which will be of particular benefit in understanding Myanmar in relation to surrounding regions and the wider Southeast Asian context, and in fostering continued collegiality and collaboration with Myanmar scholars and communities.

该项目的目的是检查史前缅甸中部三个地点的个人牙齿中的同位素，以研究饮食、人口移动和迁移以及婚后居住的潜在模式，这些都是错综复杂的联系。该项目建立在一个强有力的概念框架之上，旨在产生考古学领域的新信息。该项目的研究成果将扩大我们目前对这一重点但研究不足的领域的考古知识，这将特别有利于了解缅甸与周边地区和更广泛的东南亚背景的关系，并促进与缅甸学者和社区的持续合议和合作。
