Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of bone and tooth collagen for isotopic analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the identification of diagenetic alteration of carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios of bone and tooth collagen prepared by a widely used method is presented for assessing sample quality.
Book ChapterDOI
Experimental Evidence for the Relationship of the Carbon Isotope Ratios of Whole Diet and Dietary Protein to Those of Bone Collagen and Carbonate
Stanley H. Ambrose,Lynette Norr +1 more
TL;DR: The use of stable carbon isotopes for diet reconstruction is predicated on the assumption that the carbon isotopic composition of animal tissues is assumed to be a direct and constant function of the diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleolithic Technology and Human Evolution
TL;DR: This work has shown that stone tool technology, robust australopithecines, and the genus Homo appeared almost simultaneously 2.5 million years ago, and once this adaptive threshold was crossed, technological evolution was accompanied by increased brain size, population size, and geographical range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of diet, climate and physiology on nitrogen isotope abundances in terrestrial foodwebs
TL;DR: Variations in nitrogen isotope ratios in terrestrial foodwebs are described, and alternative models for variation in the enrichment between trophic levels are evaluated, and herbivore species with physiological adaptations to water conservation have higher nitrogen isotopes than water-dependent species.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the 1.75-million-year-old faunal assemblage from the FLK Zinjanthropus site at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania was examined and skeletal-part frequencies were used to evaluate hominid access to and differential transport of carcass portions of differing nutritional value.
