Human diet in Mantua (Northern Italy)
The Copper to Middle Bronze Ages are particularly significant times in Italian Protohistory, as they were marked by major dietary, social, and technological transformations. Stable isotope analysis has become a key tool in reconstructing past human diets. Although its application has expanded across the Italian Peninsula over the past decade, data for the Copper Age in northern Italy remain limited, and geographic coverage is still uneven. This s…

Sr/86Sr Isotope Ratio as a Tool in Archaeological Investigation
During the last forty years, the use of strontium isotopes in archaeology and biogeochemical research has spread widely. These isotopes, alone or in combination with others, can contribute to trace past and present environmental conditions. However, the interpretation of the isotopic values of strontium is not always simple and requires good knowledge of geochemistry and geology. This short paper on the use of strontium isotopes is aimed at those…

Reasons of Pathologies of Yakutian Mammoths’ Tusks in Late Pleistocene by Data of Isotopic and Geochemical Investigations
Among the remnants of Late Pleistocene mammals collected on the coast of the Laptev Sea, there are the tusks of woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) with abnormalities. An analysis of the isotopic composition of carbon from their bone carbonate hydroxylapatite, as well as geochemical studies of the substance of such tusks (35 items, a total of 38 samples) by x-ray fluorescence method was conducted. Significant differences in the chemical compos…
Stable isotope study on ancient populations of central sudan
OBJECTIVES: A contribution to the knowledge of the economy and the environmental surroundings of the populations living along the Nile valley in three different periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study reports stable isotope analyses on apatite bone samples of 139 humans, 48 mammals, and 43 fish from the Al Khiday archaeological sites in Sudan. The bones belong to four archaeological periods: pre-Mesolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Meroitic.…
Life and Death in Neolithic Southeastern Italy
There is a strong relation between people's structured identities and their chemical biographies: these can reflect the way individuals choose to reside and/or move. The strontium isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr) of skeletal remains is considered a useful proxy to assess residential mobility and social practices in past populations; however, so far, it has only occasionally been applied to prehistoric contexts in the Mediterranean. In this paper, we pre…
C 4 ‐consumers in southern europe
Isotope variations were studied in necropolises of the early (6th to 7th century CE) and central (10th to 11th century CE) medieval period located in Fruili‐Venezia Giulia (Northeastern Italy). The two periods each shortly followed two great barbarian invasions that changed the politics and economy of Italy: the arrivals of Langobards in 578 CE and the Hungarian incursions from the end of the 9th to the first half of the 10th century. These event…
