Advances in Interdisciplinary Isotopic Research
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Advances in Interdisciplinary Isotopic Research," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Stable isotopes have proven indispensable for archaeologists and scientists exploring questions about past diet, human-animal relationships, and human-environment interactions. More recent methodological and analytical advances in stable isotope techniques, including analysis of individual compounds such as amino and fatty acids, have allowed us to further understand these topics. Understanding the biochemical underpinnings behind stable isotope techniques allows for a more in depth understanding and interpretation of archaeological data. Fundamentally, we would like to highlight the new, unique, exciting, and innovative ways that stable isotopes are shaping our understanding of the past.
