Abstract

in Dublin, this Research Topic explores advances and new applications in strontium isotope research across paleoecology, archaeology, and allied fields. These contributions encompass the range of current research, the latest developments, and future potentials of this rapidly advancing research area. With authors from the fields of archaeology, anthropology, geology, geochemistry, and ecology, the multi-disciplinary relevance of modern strontium isotope analyses of biological materials is clear. The scope of the papers is also vast, with international research teams presenting work from Madagascar, the USA, Canada, the Peruvian and Southern Andes, China, the Levant, Western Europe and Scandinavia, and a temporal range spanning from the Neolithic up to the present.
