Improvement of laser ablation in situ micro-analysis to identify diagenetic alteration and measure strontium isotope ratios in fossil human teeth
Strontium isotope ratios measured in fossil human teeth are a powerful tool to investigate
past mobility patterns. In order to apply this method, the sample needs to be investigated for …
