Strontium is a chemical element without biological functions in humans. In fact, only two
biological roles are known, both as a biomineral constituent. However, strontium and …

Biogeographical studies of migration and mobility in archaeology and bioarchaeology rely
on accurately characterizing local 87 Sr/86 Sr ranges, either through baseline studies or by …

John Verano's 1997 synthesis of Andean paleopathology guided two decades of research
and was instrumental in establishing modern Andean paleopathology. This paper reviews …

As a successful technique for identifying residential mobility in other areas, this study
investigates the feasibility of using 87Sr/86Sr analysis to track the movements of the ancient …

Early state formation on the Andean coast resulted in the creation of monumental, densely
populated urban centers. The prehispanic Peruvian site of Huacas de Moche (∼ AD 100 …

Strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis of human skeletal remains is an important method in
archaeology to examine past human mobility and landscape use. 87Sr/86Sr signatures of a …

This study reports new trace element and Pb and Sr isotope compositions of tooth enamel
from archaeological remains at a Medieval (Christian) cemetery located adjacent to the …

The highland Wari (AD 600–1000) were an influential and expansive Andean civilisation,
yet the nature and organisation of Wari power is debated. For example, it is suggested that …

Coastal–highland relationships were important in the development, expansion, and collapse
of ancient societies in Nasca, Peru. Connections between the regions began with the …

Abstract Measurement of 87 Sr/86 Sr relative abundance ratios in tooth enamel is a primary
method to determine human paleomobility, and a growing number of studies now use these …
