DOWNLOAD EBOOKHuman and animal bones from four prehistoric and protohistoric Woodland sites in southern Ontario were analysed for a number of chemical elements using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The trace element strontium was the principal element of interest. Quantitative data were also obtained for zirconium, yttrium and rubidium. A subset of human and animal bones was analysed for calcium, phosphorus, silicon, aluminum, iron, manganese, titanium, magnesium and potassium. Soil samples from each site were analysed for all of the aforementioned elements.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHuman and animal bone from four prehistoric and protohistoric Woodland sites in southern Ontario was analyzed for strontium, zirconium, yttrium, and rubidium. A subset of human and animal bones was analyzed for calcium, phosphorus, silicon, aluminum, iron, manganese, titanium, magnesium, and potassium. Soil samples from each site were analyzed for all of the above elements. The analyses addressed the feasibility of comparing bone strontium levels from different sites within a given region to make dietary inferences; and, if valid comparisons can be made, the indications of patterns of dietary change for Middle and Late Woodland populations in southern Ontario. The four sites chosen included the Serpent Mounds site, the Fairty ossuary, the Kleinburg ossuary, and the Ossossane ossuary.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLocked up within human bone are tantalizing clues concerning the diets consumed by ancient peoples. On the one hand the amounts of certain elementsin bone (strontium, zinc) serve as measures of protein, fiber, and calcium intake. On the other hand, the ratios of carbon isotopes and of nitrogen isotopes provide information on questions of fish vs. meat, herbivore vs. carnivore, or (for animals) browser (shrubs) vs. grazer (grasses). Such information can provide a window on many aspects of prehistoric cultures and can supplement the nonskeletal archaeological record. In addition to these two approaches, the biochemical record in bone from protein and nucleic acids such as DNA serves as a source of nondietary information such as genetic relationships. This volume treats all three subjects.: elemental, isotopic, and biochemical. The foremost experts in the areas provide fundamental descriptions of the techniques, express their concerns over the limitations of the methods, and describe recent applications to archaeological studies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPrimarily for physical anthropologists and archaeologists, this volume defines many of the theoretical and methodological problems now facing trace element and stable isotopy researchers. In suggesting new and ambitious goals for research, its nine essays advocate a return to the fundamentals of ancient bone chemistry. Case studies highlight the various applications, interpretive difficulties, and controversies of elemental and isotopic analysis. A particularly noteworthy feature of the volume is the chapter on the application of elemental analysis to human hair, as opposed to the usual material, bone.
