...In South Africa, Sillen et al. (1998) found 87Sr/86Sr ratios ranging almost from 0.7 to 0.9 in soils over different geological substrates within a 15 km radius around the Swartkrans early hominid site (Fig....

...realistic limitations of the technique, but they were also encouragingly successful in characterising prehistoric human migration in studies at Grasshopper Pueblo in Arizona (Ezzo et al., 1997) and of hominins from the Cape region of South Africa (Cox and Sealy, 1997; Sealy et al., 1991, 1995; Sillen and Sealy, 1995; Sillen et al., 1998), Viking-era Iceland (Price and Gestsdóttir, 2006), Tiwanaku in Peru (Knudson et al., 2004), Mayan Teotihuacan (Price et al., 2000), Anglo Saxon England (Montgomery et al., 2005) and Prehistoric Europe (e.g., Bentley et al., 2002; Budd et al., 2004; Grupe et al., 1997; Müller et al., 2003; Price et al., 2001)....

...Unlike the stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes described above, there is no alteration in the ratio of 87Sr to 86Sr at higher trophic levels because the mass difference between the two isotopes in question is such a small proportion of their total mass ( Faure, 1986 )....
