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) …

Oxygen isotope analysis of archaeological skeletal remains is an increasingly popular tool
to study past human migrations. It is based on the assumption that human body chemistry …

Abstract During the Mesolithic in Europe, there is widespread evidence for an increase in
exploitation of aquatic resources. In contrast, the subsequent Neolithic is characterised by …

Isotopic analyses of incrementally developed dental tissues can be used to reveal patterns
of movement and diet in animals. However, the suitability of these methods for the …

The Andes, which have a wide variety of diverse and distinct environmental zones ranging
from the hyperarid coast to the high‐altitude altiplano, are an ideal region in which to …

In order to understand the behaviours and subsistence choices of Palaeolithic hunter–
gatherers, it is essential to understand the behavioural ecology of their prey. Here, we …

A very large majority of farm animals express seasonal variations in their production traits,
thus inducing seasonal availability of fresh derived animal products (meat, milk, cheese and …

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 …

High spatial resolution micro-sampling of tooth enamel offers the possibility of high temporal
resolution isotope data to reconstruct climate, environment, diet and mobility. Questions …

Measuring the relative abundances of heavy stable isotopes of the elements C, H, N, and O
in proteins is of interest in environmental science, archeology, zoology, medicine, and other …
