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 …

Isotopic tracking of carnivore palaeoecology is a relatively new approach that yielded
important results for the study of the non-analogue mammoth steppe biome. After describing …

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 …

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 …

Naturally occurring variations in the stable isotope composition of fossil vertebrates have
been studied since the late 1970s. Isotopic data from vertebrate fossils are sometimes used …

The carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of the mineral phase of tooth enamel is linked
to diet and environment. Enamel is not remodelled once formed. Several studies of intra …

Archeological analysis of faunal remains and of lithic and bone tools has suggested that
hunting of medium to large mammals was a major element of Neanderthal subsistence …

Local environmental conditions under dense canopy are known to result in depletion in 13C
abundance in plants compared to an open land context. This canopy effect has been …

The Gravettian site of Předmostí I in the central Moravian Plain has yielded a rich and
diverse large mammal fauna dated around 25–27,000 14 C years BP (ca. 29,500–31,500 …

The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) was one of several spectacular megafaunal species that
became extinct in northern Eurasia during the late Quaternary. Vast numbers of their …
