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) …

Terrestrial plant biomarkers and their carbon isotopes provide insights into carbon cycling,
paleovegetation and paleoclimate, ranging in scale from local to global. Over the past …

This paper presents a compilation of atmospheric radiocarbon for the period 1950–2019,
derived from atmospheric CO2 sampling and tree rings from clean-air sites. Following the …

The oldest Oldowan tool sites, from around 2.6 million years ago, have previously been
confined to Ethiopia's Afar Triangle. We describe sites at Nyayanga, Kenya, dated to 3.032 …

A broad compilation of modern carbon isotope compositions in all C3 plant types shows a
monotonic increase in δ 13C with decreasing mean annual precipitation (MAP) that differs …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Paleosols (fossil soils) are preserved throughout the geologic record in depositional settings
ranging from alluvial systems to between basalt flows. Until recently, paleosols were studied …

Abstract We open this Special Feature on stable isotopes in mammalian research with a
beginner's guide, an introduction to the novice and a refresher to the well-versed. In this …

About 10 years ago, reviews of the use of stable isotopes in animal ecology predicted
explosive growth in this field and called for laboratory experiments to provide a mechanistic …

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 …
