The King in a car park - Explore what isotope analysis reveals about the lifestyle of the king. What can isotope analysis tell us about the diet of our ancestors? What else does this reveal about where they lived? What did scientists discover about Richard III's lifestyle both before and after becoming King? Whilst using this activity teachers may wish to show students the original research paper and use this to illustrate how scientists share their research and discuss the need for peer review before publication. This supports coverage of Working Scientifically (England).
