An understanding of the structural complexity of mineralised tissues is fundamental for
exploration into the field of diagenesis. Here we review aspects of current and past research …

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) …

Although cooking is regarded as a key element in the evolutionary success of the genus

RATIONALE Oxygen isotope analysis of archaeological human dental enamel is widely
used as a proxy for the drinking water composition (δ18ODW) of the individual and thus can …

Sulfur isotope composition of organic tissues is a commonly used tool for gathering

Carbon and oxygen isotope measurements (δ 13 C, δ 18 O) of bioapatite carbonate
fractions in archaeological and fossil remains are essential tools to investigate past diets …

Scholars endeavor to understand the relationship between human evolution and climate
change. This is particularly germane for Neanderthals, who survived extreme Eurasian …

A large variety of bioapatite pre-treatments are found in the literature for a wide range of
applications going from mineralogy to diagenesis. Additionally, stable carbon and oxygen …

Here we report bone phosphate oxygen (δ18Op) values from perinates/neonates and
infants (< 3.5 years; n= 32); children (4–12 years; n= 12); unsexed juveniles (16–18 years; …

Detectors are a key feature of the contemporary scientific approach to cultural heritage (CH),
both for diagnostics and conservation. INFN-CHNet is the network of the Italian National …
