This article is intended as a tutorial review on the use of single-collector and multi-collector
ICPMS for isotope ratio determination. The monitoring and quantification of both induced …

Laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICPMS) is a solid
sampling technique in continuous expansion in all types of research fields in which direct …

Scientific techniques developed in materials science offer invaluable information to
archaeology, art history, and conservation. A rapidly growing number of innovative methods …

Lead isotope ratios in ore bodies and magmatic rocks depend in a complex way on several
a priori independent parameters, including the geological age of the tectonic province in …

Zinc and Cu play important roles in the biogeochemistry of natural systems, and it is likely
that these interactions result in mass-dependent fractionations of their stable isotopes. In this …

Archaeometallurgy is one of the earliest manifestations of archaeometric research, using
science‐based approaches to address cultural–historical questions. This review first …

In this work, we use stable Zn and Cu isotopes to identify the sources and timing of the
deposition of these metals in a sediment core from Lake Ballinger near Seattle, Washington …

The paper presents lead and copper isotope analyses of 51 copper ore samples from the
Sierra Morena, South of Spain. They are from ancient mines of the Iberian Peninsula …

Ten Early Bronze Age (BzA1, 2200–2000 BC) copper artefacts from the central Valais region
from Switzerland were studied for their elemental composition and lead isotope ratios. In …

Since considerable time, isotopic analysis of different elements present in a sample, material
or object (such as the 'light'elements H, C, N, O and S and 'heavy'elements, such as Sr and …
