“...isotopic analysis showing the skeletons were of likely Scottish origin”
So they can distinguish Scottish skeletal types from English, Welsh, Irish?

My ancestors left Dunbar for the Isle of Wight before heading to Maine in 1633. East Lothian is a swamp.

Yes, because of the local mineral ratios, which get incorporated into the teeth and bones. It’s a nice method to use, because the minerals don’t go away; one of the prehistoric burials at Stonehenge was found to have been born on the European mainland, which is interesting.

isotope analysis can figure out where you lived by what you ate when the bones were formed.
