This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Complications with diagenetic contamination of ancient human tooth enamel is of primary concern for Pb isotopic studies.

Additional samples from the same teeth were...
