Between land and rivers
This study investigates patterns of mobility and human-animal-environment interactions in the Sumerian city of Abu Tbeirah, located in southern Iraq and dated to the second half of the third millennium BCE. The research represents the first extensive strontium isotope investigation of a population from southern Mesopotamia. It integrates 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios measured on human and animal dental enamel with δ 13 C and δ 18 O data presented in an ear…
The medieval burial assemblage from Koudiet er Rammadiya, Northern Tunisia. An interdisciplinary bioarchaeological investigation
The osteological analysis of human skeletal assemblages offers crucial osteobiographical insights into ancient populations, yet remains largely unexplored in past Tunisia. This paper presents the first archaeological investigation of Tunisian medieval burials, unearthed during excavations between 2016–2017 and 2021–2022. This interdisciplinary study, combining archaeology, bioarchaeology, and paleopathology, examines skeletons from Koudiet er Ram…
Geochemical and Sr–Nd isotopic characterization of Middle Pleistocene sediments from the paleontological site of La Polledrara di Cecanibbio (Sabatini Volcanic District, central Italy)
First Strontium Isotope Evidence of Mobility in the Neolithic of Southern France
This study presents the first 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotope results obtained on Neolithic humans from Southern France. These analyses aimed at exploring patterns of mobility in the Languedoc and Garonne areas, at sites dated to the Middle Neolithic ( c . 4500–3500 cal BC). Strontium isotope analysis of tooth enamel and bone are a useful geochemical tracer to investigate the origin and residential mobility of ancient people. Strontium isotope ratios ( 87 S…
