Where it stands

Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: three pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

What it predicts

  • Isotope values of early-forming and late-forming teeth fit different regions in that order.
  • A DNA relative match, if found, comes from families with roots in that region.
  • Records of a girl of that age leaving the region exist.

What would rule it out

  • A confirmed identity elsewhere, or isotope values re-interpreted against better isoscapes that exclude the region.
