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) …

Compound-specific isotopic analysis of amino acids (CSIA-AA) has emerged in the last
decade as a powerful approach for tracing the origins and fate of nitrogen in ecological and …

The precise genetic origins of the first Neolithic farming populations in Europe and
Southwest Asia, as well as the processes and the timing of their differentiation, remain …

Fifty years ago, GE Hutchinson defined the ecological niche as a hypervolume in n‐
dimensional space with environmental variables as axes. Ecologists have recently …

This book is entirely devoted to the study of children's skeletons from archaeological and
forensic contexts. It provides an extensive review of the osteological methods and theoretical …

Prey‐predator collagen enrichment values for carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions
are investigated. New enrichment values are given for the well‐monitored ecosystem of …

Human and domesticate animal bone collagen δ15N values in prehistory differ generally by
3‰ or more from Neolithic to post-Roman times in Northwest Europe, leading to an …

Stable isotope analysis is a well‐established tool for studying past human remains.
Applications have grown exponentially in the past 15 years, with studies focusing on living …

Objectives: Studies of the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of
modern tissues with a fast turnover, such as hair and fingernails, have established the …

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