Oxygen isotope analyses of skeletal remains (18 O/16 O, δ 18 O) are a powerful tool for
exploring major themes in bioarchaeology (the study of biological archaeological remains) …

Abstract Middle Stone Age sites located within the Greater Cape Floristic Region on the
South African southern coast have material culture with early evidence for key modern …

The oldest Oldowan tool sites, from around 2.6 million years ago, have previously been
confined to Ethiopia's Afar Triangle. We describe sites at Nyayanga, Kenya, dated to 3.032 …

Mobile pastoralists are thought to have facilitated the first trans-Eurasian dispersals of
domesticated plants during the Early Bronze Age (ca 2500–2300 BC). Problematically, the …

Stable isotope analysis of fossil materials has become an increasingly important method for
gathering dietary and environmental information from extinct species in terrestrial and …

Intra‐tooth sequential analysis of enamel δ18O is currently used to investigate birth
seasonality in past animal populations, offering new insights into seasonal availability of …

Despite the important role of livestock farming amongst Iron Age communities living in
mountain regions, there is little information about livestock management, and particularly …

Strontium isotopic analysis of sequentially formed tissues, such as tooth enamel, is
commonly used to study provenance and mobility of humans and animals. However, the …

Stable carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in mammalian tooth enamel are commonly used to
understand the diets and environments of modern and fossil animals. Isotope variation …

Comparisons between the oxygen isotope ratios in the carbonate and phosphate fractions of
bioapatite have been proposed and applied as an internal check for diagenesis because …
