Traditional stable isotope geochemistry involves isotopes of light elements such as H, C, N,
O, and S, which are measured predominantly by gas-source mass spectrometry (Valley et al …

In recent decades the analysis of stable isotopes in plants has become a useful method to
infer natural and anthropogenic effects on the growing conditions of plants. Here we present …

The inclusion of radiogenic strontium isotope (87 Sr/86 Sr) analysis in archaeological and
bioarchaeological research has resulted in the creation of new data by which to evaluate …

From about 5500 cal BC to soon after 5000 cal BC, the lifeways of the first farmers of central
Europe–the LBK, after the German labels Linearbandkeramik or Linienbandkeramik–are …

Abstract The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) Periodic Table of
the Elements and Isotopes (IPTEI) was created to familiarize students, teachers, and non …

Neoecology and paleoecology both seek to answer the same questions, albeit using
different material, at different time scales and with different limitations. Nevertheless, too …

Different approaches are used to study wood provenance, but most of them are based on
tracers in wood that are generally controlled by climatic factors. The strontium isotopic ratio …

We present a commercially-available, fully-automated, offline chromatography method
capable of simultaneously purifying both Ca and Sr for stable and radiogenic isotope …

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 …

Nitrogen isotope ratios (δ 15 N) are a well-established tool for investigating the dietary and
trophic behavior of animals in terrestrial and marine food webs. To date, δ 15 N values in …
