As urban industrialisation continues at exponential rates across the modern world, it is timelier than ever to analyse this cultural phenomenon through the interdisciplinary and holistic lens of bioarchaeology, applying humanistic perspectives across time and space. Through novel sulphur isotopic analysis, this project will develop an original means to reconstruct and investigate the challenges faced by diverse populations in (pre-)Industrial England, specifically: pollution and socio-environmental injustices, disease and health inequities, and migration. In doing so, this research will ultimately contribute a distinct perspective on the evolution and development of individual identities, biocultural adaptations, and sociocultural structures unique to urban-industrial sites.

随着现代世界的城市工业化继续以指数级速度发展，通过生物考古学的跨学科和整体透镜、应用跨时间和空间的人文视角来分析这一文化现象比以往任何时候都更加及时。通过新的硫同位素分析，该项目将开发一种原始的方法来重建和调查（前）工业化英格兰不同人群所面临的挑战，特别是：污染和社会环境不公正，疾病和健康不平等以及移民。在这样做的过程中，这项研究最终将有助于对个人身份，生物文化适应和独特的城市工业用地的社会文化结构的演变和发展的独特视角。
