Sulphur isotope analysis of archaeological materials provides information on past
ecosystems, palaeo-diets, migration and mobility. This review covers the geochemical …

Biogeochemical methods using stable isotopes and trace elements have been increasingly
developed and applied to reconstruct modern and ancient breastfeeding and weaning …

Analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes from soft or mineralized tissues is a direct
and widely‐used technique for modeling diets. In addition to its continued role in paleodiet …

Sulfur isotope composition of organic tissues is a commonly used tool for gathering
information about provenance and diet in archaeology and paleoecology. However, the lack …

Despite this book's title, I don't actually have any answers. This volume is essentially a
collection of my musing, and the interpretations and ideas that I present are just that: my …

Empirical observations of δ 15 N of bone collagen by age at death from 56 archaeological
sites (n= 1560) document an increase over the adult mean at ages∼ 0–2 years. These …

Transhumance and palaeodiet are two central themes in archaeology and using chemical
analysis of bones and teeth to reconstruct trends and patterns in diet and mobility has …

The stable isotopes of sulfur provide a distinctive signature for marine proximity and
interaction. Exploring coastal proximity has been the principal application of sulfur isotopes …

This article evaluates age of weaning and early childhood diets of eight males and nine
females from a Middle Holocene (4300–3000 BP) site in Central California, CA‐CCO‐548 …

So declared the then twenty-five-year-old Gustave Flaubert, in a letter of August 8, 1846, to
his mistress, Louise Colet. It is a reaction that I suspect would not have seemed out of place …
