Dr. Luis Pezo-Lanfranco and his colleagues conducted stable isotope analysis to reconstruct the diets of 38 human individuals from the early Central Andean civilization of Vichama (1800 BCE–1300 CE).

Archaeologists working at Karahan Tepe, a Neolithic ceremonial site in southeastern Turkey, have built a case that wild ...

Demand for the ornaments, jewelry, and other luxury items carved from the ivory in elephant tusks has led poachers to decimate elephant populations. An international ban exists on the ivory trade, and ...

Stable isotope and elemental analyses have emerged as robust methods to determine the geographic origin of seafood. These approaches exploit environmental and physiological processes that leave ...

Stable isotope analysis of fish otoliths has emerged as a powerful method for reconstructing environmental and physiological histories of individual fishes. Otoliths are accreted calcium carbonate ...

For the next five years, the University of Wyoming’s Stable Isotope Facility (SIF) will be the go-to laboratory to analyze National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) soil samples from across the ...

The IAEA offers a variety of training courses in the fundamentals of isotope hydrology and isotopic analyses of stable isotopes, tritium, and noble gases. This course provides an overview of advances ...

Isotopic analysis primarily involves the separation of isotopes based on the significant differences in mass. The method is effective for identifying the isotopic signature within the inorganic and ...
