TL;DR: In this article, a case study of twelve individuals from the medieval Finnish site Iin Hamina with a known dietary history was presented to illustrate the potentially obfuscating effects of mixed Sr sources in a human population.

TL;DR: Results of strontium isotope ratios of human tooth enamel from Tell el-Dabca are presented, focusing on comparing pre- and during Hyksos rule and sex-based differences, consistent with the supposition that, while the ruling class had Near Eastern origins, the Hykso’ rise to power was not the result of an invasion, as popularly theorized, but an internal dominance and takeover of foreign elite.

TL;DR: In this paper, a whole-rock geochemical and zircon U-Pb geochronological study of a suite of crustal xenoliths from the Bolivian Altiplano, Central Andes is presented.

TL;DR: The Segama Valley Felsic Intrusions (SVFI) of Sabah, north Borneo, shows them to be arc-derived tonalites; not windows or partial melts of a crystalline basement beneath Sabah as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The lack of consistent isotopic differences between early and later Neolithic occupants at Ban Non Wat means that the site does not conclusively support the two-layer hypothesis, and is found to be of an early hunter-gatherer population, with agriculturalists immigrating into the later phases.
