For the past few years Dr. Charlotte King has been studying the skeletal remains of colonial settlers on the Otago Goldfields in the eighteen hundreds.
We spoke to her when she embarked on the project, looking at isotopic evidence from the remains finding that the settlers were much more diverse than first thought.
Since then, she's continued to work with this data to see what else she can learn about these early settlers and it turns out there's a lot more to discover!
Dr. Charlotte King from Otago University's Department of Anatomy catches up again with Jesse.
