This paper reviews the ultrastructure and chemistry of fish bone, with an emphasis on
zooarchaeology and stable isotope analysis. On the basis of the chemical composition of the …

The carbon and nitrogen isotopic abundances of the collagen extracted from the Saint-
Césaire I Neanderthal have been used to infer the dietary behaviour of this specimen. A …

In Africa, the scarcity of hominin remains found in direct association with stone tools has
hindered attempts to link Homo habilis and Homo erectus with particular lithic industries …

The quality of bone collagen extracts is central to the14C dating and isotope palaeodietary
analysis of bone. The intactness and purity of the extracted gelatin (“collagen”) is strongly …

Differential fractionation of stable isotopes of carbon during photosynthesis causes C4
plants and C3 plants to have distinct carbon-isotope signatures. In addition, marine C3 …

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 …

Prey‐predator collagen enrichment values for carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions
are investigated. New enrichment values are given for the well‐monitored ecosystem of …

The isotope enrichment ɛ* of 13 C between tooth enamel of large ruminant mammals and
their diet is 14.1±0.5‰. This value was obtained by analyzing both the dental enamel of a …

The characterization of Neandertals' diets has mostly relied on nitrogen isotope analyses of
bone and tooth collagen. However, few nitrogen isotope data have been recovered from …

The potential use of stable-isotope analyses (δ13C and δ15N) to estimate bear diets was
assessed in 40-day feeding trials using American black bears (Ursus americanus). Bear …
