Journal ArticleDOI
Stable-Carbon Isotope Ratios as a Measure of Marine Versus Terrestrial Protein in Ancient Diets
TL;DR: The stable-carbon isotope ratios for the flesh of marine and terrestrial animals from Canada's Pacific coast differ by 7.9 � 0.4 per mil, reflecting the ∼ 7 per mil difference between oceanic and atmospheric carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable isotope analyses in human nutritional ecology
TL;DR: This work presents one method based on stable isotope analysis in human tissues and discusses its contributions, and discusses several potential sources of variation including sex, age, nutritional status, among others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractionation of carbon and oxygen isotopes and magnesium between coexisting metamorphic calcite and dolomite
TL;DR: In this article, carbon and oxygen isotopes and magnesium between coexisting dolomite and calcite have been determined for marbles and calcareous schists of a wide variety of metamorphic environments from Vermont and the Grenville Province of Ontario.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes in human tooth enamel : identifying breastfeeding and weaning in prehistory
Lori E. Wright,Henry P. Schwarcz +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that Kaminaljuyú children had begun to eat solid maize foods before the age of 2 years but continued to drink breast milk until much later, which indicates that many children continued to nurse during the period of premolar formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infrared and Isotopic Evidence for Diagenesis of Bone Apatite at Dos Pilas, Guatemala: Palaeodietary Implications
Lori E. Wright,Henry P. Schwarcz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined apatite preservation in Classic Period Maya skeletal remains from Dos Pilas, Guatemala, using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify diagenetic change in apatitic chemistry.
