Oxygen isotope analyses of skeletal remains (18 O/16 O, δ 18 O) are a powerful tool for
exploring major themes in bioarchaeology (the study of biological archaeological remains) …

The stable isotope compositions of biogenic materials record a combination of
environmental parameters and biological processes. In general, the environment provides a …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

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 …

Stable isotope analysis is a well‐established tool for studying past human remains.
Applications have grown exponentially in the past 15 years, with studies focusing on living …

▪ Abstract Vertebrate fossils and continental sediments provide a rich record of variations in
the isotopic composition of surface environments. To interpret these records, a greater …

Conodonts, microfossils composed of carbonate-fluor apatite, are abundant in Palaeozoic–
Triassic sediments and have a high potential to preserve primary oxygen isotope signals. In …

Investigation of modern and fossil teeth from northern and central Kenya, using the ion
microprobe, electron microprobe, and transmission electron microscope, confirms that fossil …

RATIONALE Oxygen isotope analysis of archaeological human dental enamel is widely
used as a proxy for the drinking water composition (δ18ODW) of the individual and thus can …

Sulfur isotope composition of organic tissues is a commonly used tool for gathering
information about provenance and diet in archaeology and paleoecology. However, the lack …
