The modern South American mammalian assemblage was determined by the closure of the
Panama isthmus (∼ 2.7–3.1 Ma) and later on, by profound climatic and environmental …

Teeth are one of the best preserved and most commonly recovered elements in primate
fossil assemblages. Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic hypotheses often rely on …

The use of stable isotope ratio analysis in archaeology has exploded over the past few
decades to the point where it is now an established tool that is routinely used to investigate …

Naturally occurring variations in the stable isotope composition of fossil vertebrates have
been studied since the late 1970s. Isotopic data from vertebrate fossils are sometimes used …

This paper presents the results of a multi-isotopic (oxygen, strontium, carbon and nitrogen
isotopes) investigation of population and dietary diversity in Roman Gloucester, focusing on …

Isotopic analysis has become one of the most popular arenas of archaeological science, in
part due to its versatility to uncover intriguing insights from a range of organic and inorganic …

Over the past forty years, stable isotope analysis of bone (and tooth) collagen and
hydroxyapatite has become a mainstay of archaeological and paleoanthropological …

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 …

Oxygen stable isotope ratios (δ18O) have been determined in carbonate in paired first and

The nature of the physiology and thermal regulation of the nonavian dinosaurs is the subject
of debate. Previously, arguments have been made for both endothermic and ectothermic …
