Resumen de Beyond lifetime averages: tracing life histories through isotopic analysis of different calcified tissues from archaeological human skeletons
Judith Sealy, Richard H. Armstrong, Carmel Schrire
Stable-isotopic analyses of human bone, now an established aid to dietary reconstruction in archaeology, represent the diet as averaged over many years. Separate analysis of different skeletal components enables changes in diet and place of residence to be tracked, giving a fuller life-history for long-dead individuals.
