The Inca child of the Quehuar volcano
This study suggests new feeding patterns for children offered during the Capacocha. • It is possible that the child’s diet included seaweed. • The Quehuar volcano child lived at high altitude before being offered in sacrifice. The Incas occupied the west coast of South America between 1438 and 1532 CE. Among the many rites they practised was the Capacocha , which involved the offering of children. Here we studied the mummy of a child found on the…
Forest and Agricultural Dynamics in the Haouz Plain Over the Last Millennium
Δ2H and δ18O of river water from a high-altitude humid plain of the southern Alps
Geographic origin and social status of the Gallic warriors from Ribemont‐sur‐Ancre (France) studied through isotope systematics of bone remains
Ribemont‐sur‐Ancre, France, is the biggest excavated human skeletal assemblage of Northern Gaul. It is interpreted as a post‐battle deposit constructed to celebrate war. However, the chronology of the site, its organization and the origin of the buried warriors are still poorly understood. These problems are studied by a multi‐proxy approach, based on radiocarbon dating, stable and radiogenic isotope analysis of bone remains from three structures…
Hydrogen isotope measurements of bone and dental tissues from archaeological human and animal samples and their use as climatic and diet proxies

La dernière période interglaciaire (Last Interglacial, LIG, ou Stade Isotopique Marin 5.5, SIM 5.5), comprise entre environs 129 et environs 16 milliers d’années avant aujourd’hui (ci-dessous ka), est peu documentée, en particulier en domaine continental en raison de la rareté des dépôts attribuables à cette période qui correspond à l’Eemien dans la chronostratigraphie de l’Europe du nord-ouest. Le manque de documentation est encore plus prononcé…
Climate conditions and dietary practices during the Second Iron Age studied through the multi-isotope analysis of bones and teeth from individuals of Thézy-Glimont, Picardie, France
Climatic change and diet of the pre-Hispanic population of Gran Canaria (Canary Archipelago, Spain) during the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age
Reconstruction of sea-surface temperatures in the Canary Islands during Marine Isotope Stage 11
The study of paleoclimates enables us to improve and better constrain climate models in order to forecast future climate variations. Marine Isotope Stage 11 (MIS11), which began around 425,000 yr BP and lasted about 65,000 yr, is a warm isotope stage of paramount importance, because the astronomical configuration was similar to the one characterizing the Holocene. Therefore, this warm isotope stage is the most appropriate analog to present-day cl…

Stable isotope analyses of the carbonate component of bones and teeth
Tsunami sedimentary deposits of Crete records climate during the ‘Minoan Warming Period’ (≈3350 yr BP)
Earthquakes or explosive eruptions generate tsunami, which are at the origin of thick and chaotic coastal sediments. These commonly fossiliferous deposits are formed instantaneously at the historical or geological timescale and therefore have the potential to provide snapshot records of past climates. In Crete, near the city of Palaikastro, crops out a 1- to 9-m-thick sedimentary layer deposited by a huge tsunami that has been previously estimate…
Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen isotope fractionation during food cooking
OBJECTIVES: Stable isotope data provide insight into the reconstruction of ancient human diet. However, cooking may alter the original stable isotope compositions of food due to losses and modifications of biochemical and water components. METHODS: To address this issue, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen isotope ratios were measured on meat aliquots sampled from various animals such as pork, beef, duck and chicken, and also from the flesh of fishes suc…
Summer air temperature, reconstructions from the last glacial stage based on rodents from the site Taillis-des-Coteaux (Vienne), Western France
The oxygen isotope composition of phosphate from tooth enamel of rodents (δ 18 O p ) constitutes a valuable proxy to reconstruct past air temperatures in continental environments. This method has been applied to rodent dental remains from three genera, Arvicola sp., Microtus sp. and Dicrostonyx sp., coming from Taillis-des-Coteaux, Vienne, France. This archaeological site contains an exceptionally preserved sedimentary sequence spanning almost th…
Diet of ancient Egyptians inferred from stable isotope systematics
Late Pleistocene (MIS 3–4) climate inferred from micromammal communities and δ 18 O of rodents from Les Pradelles, France
The middle Paleolithic stratigraphic sequence of Les Pradelles (Charente, France) spans from the end of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 4 until the middle of MIS 3. Micromammal remains are present in all the stratigraphic levels, offering a rare opportunity to address the questions of both environmental and climatic fluctuations throughout this period. Climate modes were studied through the taphonomy, biodiversity and oxygen isotope compositions of ph…
Stable isotope ecology of Miocene bovids from northern Greece and the ape/monkey turnover in the Balkans
Late Pleistocene climatic change in the French Jura (Gigny) recorded in the δ 18 O of phosphate from ungulate tooth enamel
Oxygen isotope compositions of phosphate in tooth enamel from large mammals (i.e. horse and red deer) were measured to quantify past mean annual air temperatures and seasonal variations between 145 ka and 33 ka in eastern France. The method is based on interdependent relationships between the δ 18 O of apatite phosphate, environmental waters and air temperatures. Horse ( Equus caballus germanicus ) and red deer ( Cervus elaphus ) remains have δ 1…
