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 …

Assessments of temporal variation in diets are important for our understanding of the
ecology of many vertebrates. Ratios of naturally occurring stable isotopes in animal tissues …

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 …

The “trophic level enrichment” between diet and body results in an overall increase in
nitrogen isotopic values as the food chain is ascended. Quantifying the diet–body Δ15N …

This review charts the developments and progress made in the application of stable light
isotope tools to palaeodietary adaptations from the 1970s onwards. It begins with an outline …

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 …

I ntroduction Humans first peopled the North American Arctic (northern Alaska, Canada, and
Greenland) around 6000 years ago, leaving behind a complex archaeological record that …

While past experiments on animals, birds, fish, and insects have shown changes in stable
isotope ratios due to nutritional stress, there has been little research on this topic in humans …

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 …
