We report isotopic ratios for δ18O and 87Sr/86Sr from 71 individual human permanent teeth, obtained from 61 individuals with known regions of origins from eight of the 32 departments in Colombia. This survey of the applicability of isotopic provenancing is a vital addition to the ongoing identification efforts within Colombia concerning unidentifie...

The low-temperature magnetic properties and Néel temperature, TN, behavior of four silicate substitutional solid solutions containing paramagnetic ions are analyzed. The four systems are: fayalite-forsterite olivine [Fe22+SiO4-Mg2SiO4], and the garnet series, grossular-andradite [Ca3(Alx,Fe31+ –x)2Si3O12], grossular-spessartine [(Cax,Mn21+ –x)3Al2S...

Valleyite, Ca4(Fe,Al)6O13, is a new sodalite-type mineral discovered in late Pleistocene basaltic scoria from the Menan Volcanic Complex near Rexburg, Idaho, U.S.A. It is an oxidation product of basaltic glass during the early stage of the scoria formation and is associated with hematite (α-Fe2O3), maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), luogufengite (ε-Fe2O3), and q...

This paper presents the first multi-tissue study of diet in post-medieval London using both the stable light isotope analysis of carbon and nitrogen and analysis of microdebris in dental calculus. Dietary intake was explored over short and long timescales. Bulk bone collagen was analysed from humans from the Queen’s Chapel of the Savoy (QCS) ( n = ...

Understanding mechanisms of groundwater recharge in karst aquifers that are used as a source of drinking water is vital for sustainable water management. In this study, 18O, 2H and 3H isotopes were used to understand the physical processes which affect water flow in a karstic region and for determining the locations of groundwater recharge areas an...
À la période de transition entre l’Antiquité et le Moyen Âge, la reconstitution de l’alimentation à une échelle individuelle permet d’aborder l’impact des mutations des institutions, de l’économie et de la culture sur la vie quotidienne. Elle permet également d’aborder la question des « alimentation(s) méditerranéenne(s) ». Cette échelle d’interpré...

The objective of this work is, the introduction of a quick guideline for the ICP–MS users to have a look on the theory, composition, some of the quality control and quality assurance definitions and demands, reagents preparation, detection limits calculation, method validation parameters of ICP–MS method of analysis.
Symbioses between plants and fungi are ubiquitous in terrestrial ecosystems, in which they play key roles in plant nutrient acquisition and the cycling of elements. The plant host provides carbon fixed in photosynthesis to the fungi, which in return provide the host with limiting nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. These associations, referr...

Calcite-graphite carbon isotope thermometry results are presented for 150 new marble samples across the western Central Metasedimentary Belt (CMB) of the Ontario segment of the Grenville Province. The results show a gradual increase in peak metamorphic temperature from under 500 °C in the Tudor Township area in the east to over 700 °C along the wes...
