Stable isotope analysis of teeth and bones is regularly applied by archeologists and
paleoanthropologists seeking to reconstruct diets, ecologies, and environments of past …

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 …

Stable isotope biogeochemistry is useful for quantifying the feeding ecology of modern and
extinct primates. Over the past three decades, substantial advances have been made in our …

Over thirty years ago, an archaeologist collaborated with a geochemist (Vogel and van der
Merwe 1977; van der Merwe and Vogel 1978) to revolutionize our understanding of the …

This short review aims at drawing up an inventory of the existing chemical techniques that
can help reconstruct past hominin diets in the absence of organic preservations (such as …

This paper presents the published and unpublished stable carbon and nitrogen isotope
values for 36 European Upper Paleolithic humans from 20 sites. The isotope data were …

An established method of estimating the trophic level of an organism is through stable
isotope analysis of its tissues and those of its diet. This method has been used in …

An extensive ecological literature applies stable isotope mixing models to derive quantitative
dietary reconstructions from isotope ratios of consumer tissues. While this approach works …

This chapter introduces an addition to the suite of techniques traditionally employed to study
medieval foodways, carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of bone collagen, to a …

Stable carbon isotopes in the bone collagen of prehistoric humans are valuable tools for
determining human diet. We studied carbon isotopes in individual amino acids (IAA) in …
