## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its 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.
