TLDR
In this paper, the authors extend 87 Sr/ 86 Sr analysis to ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa ) prevalent in the architectural timber at three of the Chacoan great houses (Pueblo Bonito, Chetro Ketl, Pueblo del Arroyo).About:

Applications of Sr Isotopes in Archaeology
Nicole M. Slovak,Adina Paytan +1 more
TL;DR: The use of radiogenic strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis in archaeological and bioarchaeological research has resulted in the creation of new data by which to evaluate models of migration, culture change, colonization, trade, and exchange as discussed by the authors.

Historical ecology in the Mesa Verde region: results from the village ecodynamics project
TL;DR: Using the occupation histories of 3,176 habitation sites, new estimates of maize-agriculture productivity, and an analysis of over 1,700 construction timbers, the authors examined the historical ecology of Pueblo peoples during their seven-century occupation (A.D. 600-1300) of a densely settled portion of the Mesa Verde archaeological region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locating the origins of wood resources: a review of dendroprovenancing
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that ecological and genetic factors may strongly influence individual matching results and that ring-widths may therefore be considered a somewhat crude means of provenancing, although these are unlikely to become routinely used in the near future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiogenic and “stable” strontium isotopes in provenance studies: A review and first results on archaeological wood from shipwrecks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the potential and limitations of using both of these strontium isotope ratios to trace the provenance of wood from shipwrecks, and suggest future research to test and apply this approach for tracing the origin of archaeological wood.

Oxygen and strontium isotopes as provenance indicators of fish at archaeological sites: the case study of Sagalassos, SW Turkey
Elise Dufour,Chris Holmden,Willem Van Neer,Willem Van Neer,Antoine Zazzo,William P. Patterson,Patrick Degryse,Eddy Keppens +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential use of oxygen and strontium isotope ratios (δ 18 O p and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) measured in archaeological fish enamel as provenance indicators.

Changing sources of nutrients during four million years of ecosystem development
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that inputs of elements from the atmosphere can sustain the productivity of Hawaiian rainforests on highly weathered soils, where cations are supplied in marine aerosols and phosphorus is deposited in dust from central Asia, which is over 6,000 km away.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strontium isotopes as tracers of ecosystem processes: theory and methods
TL;DR: The strontium (Sr) isotope method can be a powerful tool in studies of chemical weathering and soil genesis, cation provenance and mobility, and the chronostratigraphic correlation of marine sediments.

Mycorrhizal weathering of apatite as an important calcium source in base-poor forest ecosystems
Joel D. Blum,Andrea Klaue,Carmen A. Nezat,Charles T. Driscoll,Chris E. Johnson,Thomas G. Siccama,Christopher Eagar,Timothy J. Fahey,Gene E. Likens +8 more
TL;DR: It seems that apatite weathering can compensate for some of the calcium lost from base-poor ecosystems, and should be considered when estimating soil acidification impacts and calcium cycling.

Aeolian dust in Colorado Plateau soils: nutrient inputs and recent change in source.
TL;DR: This work has developed a combination of methods to identify the presence of aeolian dust in arid regions and to evaluate the roles of this dust in ecosystem processes, including the potential to deplete soil fertility by means of wind-erosion removal of aoolian silt.
