And today we're going to talk about some work that she's done, anthropological work on the Atlantic and transatlantic slave trade, which also includes a site here where I live in Portugal. So Dr.

So as I said, you've done work on the Atlantic and transatlantic slave trade, particularly through the study of African strontium isoscapes and isotopic investigations. I mean, could you tell us about that? Did you study there specifically? How did you do it and what did you learn?
