Maintaining the Ramesside Empire: Isotopic Evidence for Elite Migration to Upper Nubia under Pharaonic Rule
Pharaonic Egypt ruled Upper Nubia (now northern Sudan) from around 1450 to 1070 BCE : previous research has demonstrated how co-opted local elites and descendants of earlier immigrants held senior administrative positions following the initial conquest. Strontium isotope data from 39 individuals buried at the colonial centre of Amara West, combined with archaeological and epigraphic evidence, enable us to demonstrate that elites continued to arri…
Exploring Intersectional Identities and Geographic Origins in Ancient Nubia at Tombos, Sudan
As part of an intersectional investigation of changes in identity and lifeways during sociopolitical changes in the ancient Nile Valley, strontium isotope analysis has provided a useful entry for understanding local practices. At the site of Tombos, human residential mobility was spurred through Egyptian imperial actions in Nubia during the New Kingdom period (~1450–1050 B.C.). During this period, immigrants and locals interacted and influenced c…
Assessing the Impact of Holocene Climate Change on Bioavailable Strontium Within the Nile River Valley: Geochemical and Radiogenic Isotope Perspectives
The impact of the climate drying during the Holocene within the Nile River Valley System (NRVS) has been the focus of recent debate in the archaeological community. It is argued that the increased contribution of aeolian material from the neighboring Sahara Desert during the last ~7,000 years has changed the isotope compositions of bioavailable Sr relative to the geological background and thus hinders provenance investigations of human remains wi…
The role of post-mortem alteration in tooth enamel revisited: A combined strontium isotope and geochemical evaluation
Intraregional 87Sr/86Sr variation in Nubia: New insights from the Third Cataract
Multi-element and lead isotope characterization of early nineteenth century pottery sherds from Native American and Euro-American sites
Entanglement and the Formation of the Ancient Nubian Napatan State
Through the concept of entanglement, archaeological indications of cultural identity and skeletal evidence of biological and geographic interaction are used to explore the development of the Nubian polity who ruled as the 25th Dynasty of Egypt (Napatan period, ca. 750-656 B.C.E.). In this article, we examine the ways in which cultural and biological linkages affect the political, social, and cultural trajectories of the political entities in the …
Sr/86Sr variability in Puerto Rico: Geological complexity and the study of paleomobility
Strontium isotope ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) variability in the Nile Valley: Identifying residential mobility during ancient Egyptian and Nubian sociopolitical changes in the New Kingdom and Napatan periods
As a successful technique for identifying residential mobility in other areas, this study investigates the feasibility of using 87 Sr/ 86 Sr analysis to track the movements of the ancient peoples of Egypt and Nubia in the Nile Valley, who interacted via trade, warfare, and political occupations over millennia. Dental enamel from faunal remains is used to examine variability in strontium sources in seven regional sites; human enamel samples are an…

Strontium Isotope Evidence for Prehistoric Migration at Chokepukio, Valley of Cuzco, Peru
Although Spanish chroniclers referred frequently to coerced migration in the Inca Empire, these migrations have been difficult to document archaeologically. One approach to migration studies, strontium isotope (87Sr/86Sr) analysis, has emerged as an effective technique. Until now, however, this method has not been applied to the Inca heartland region of Cuzco, Peru. In this study, we use strontium isotope analysis to examine patterns of prehistor…
Trace element and Pb isotope provenance analyses of native copper in northwestern North America: Results of a recent pilot study using Inaa, ICP-MS, and LA-MC-ICP-MS
In‐situ Elemental and Sr Isotope Investigation of Human Tooth Enamel by Laser Ablation‐(mc)‐icp‐ms: Successes and Pitfalls
Trace element and Sr isotope data were obtained by laser ablation‐ and solution mode‐(MC)‐ICP‐MS analysis for tooth enamel from remains excavated at the New Kingdom period Egyptian colonial and Nubian cemetery site of Tombos (Sudan). Elemental abundances determined by both methods of ICP‐MS analysis yielded comparable values; however, 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values obtained by laser ablation were higher compared to their solution mode counterparts. This dis…
