"Discovers" ??
I saw this information on Time Team several years ago, I beleive the lady who did the original research was a chiropodist turned osteoarcheologist based in Bristol.
As I'm doing an OU degree in History I'd be very interested if anyone else has any more information on this subject, or where I can find it.

 

Google scholar shows the following links

I appreciate the top study is between dinosaurs & humans but perhaps the authors references list will throw some more information into the mix.

Happy hunting.

Regards,

Mandy.

 

Dear Carol

The podiatrist was Phyllis Jackson and the article was "Footloose in Archeology". It was based on Phyllis's long-term observations as a podiatrist with an interest in archeology as opposed to an actual research study. While a hard copy publication was produced, there is a link to the work on:

I have a file that Phyllis sent me some years ago, if you were interested in coming over and looking through this etc. My e-mail address is wesley.vernon@nhs.net
