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) …

Biogeographical studies of migration and mobility in archaeology and bioarchaeology rely
on accurately characterizing local 87 Sr/86 Sr ranges, either through baseline studies or by …

Given their strong affinity for the skeleton, trace elements are often stored in bones and teeth
long term. Diet, geography, health, disease, social status, activity, and occupation are some …

Strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis of human skeletal remains is an important method in
archaeology to examine past human mobility and landscape use. 87Sr/86Sr signatures of a …

Management of camelids in the coastal valleys of the Andes has generated much debate in
recent years. Zooarchaeological and isotopic studies have demonstrated that in the coastal …
