Age Estimation in Forensic Sciences: Application of Combined Aspartic Acid Racemization and Radiocarbon Analysis
Kanar Alkass, Bruce A. Buchholz, Susumu Ohtani et al., 2010. Molecular & Cellular Proteomics 9(5): 1022-1030.
The method used on the Isdal teeth: aspartic acid racemisation in dentine combined with bomb-pulse radiocarbon in enamel to estimate year of birth.
What it's used for here
The peer-reviewed method behind the 1930 birth estimate.
