The Characterization of Biologically Available Strontium Isotope Ratios for the Study of Prehistoric Migration
Abstract
Strontium isotope analysis of bone and tooth enamel from prehistoric human skeletons is an important new technique used to address questions regarding migration. Two problems arise in such investigations: (1) levels of strontium isotope ratios in local bedrock, soil, water, plants and animals are variable; and (2) a range of values in human bone and enamel data make it difficult to distinguish some migrants from locals. Analysis of the bones of small animals provides a robust measure of local strontium isotope ratios and a reliable, if conservative, means for determining confidence limits for distinguishing migrants. Data from various geographical areas are presented here in a discussion of variability in strontium isotope values. Examples are provided using modern and prehistoric materials. We conclude with the recommendation that studies involving strontium isotope analysis should incorporate small animal samples for comparative purposes whenever possible.

In the citing paper
“Because non-domesticated animals consume only locally available food and water that reflects a “regional average” of bioavailable strontium, some researchers argued that the local range should be established by the mean of archaeological and modern tooth enamel from small mammals like rabbits and mice, ± 2 sd”

In the citing paper
“The most serious limitation of the archaeological strontium isoscape is the problem of equifinality, described by Price and colleagues as the overlapping 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values of geographically-distant regions with similar underlying bedrock age and morphology (Price, et al., 2002, Price, et al., 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
