It specifically addresses the research potential of cremated finds, a somewhat neglected bioarchaeological substrate, resulting primarily from the inherent osteological challenges and complex mineralogy associated with it. In addition, for the first time data mining methods are applied. The chapters are the outcome of an international workshop sponsored by the German Science Foundation and the Centre of Advanced Studies at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Munich. Isotopic landscapes are indispensable tracers for the monitoring of the flow of matter through geo/ecological systems since they comprise existing temporally and spatially defined stable isotopic patterns found in geological and ecological samples. Analyses of stable isotopes of the elements nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, strontium, and lead are routinely utilized in bioarchaeologyto reconstruct biodiversity, palaeodiet, palaeoecology, palaeoclimate, migration and trade. The interpretive power of stable isotopic ratios depends not only on firm, testable hypotheses, but most imp | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Anthropology; Bioarchaeology; Biomineralization; Cremation; Isotopic Landscapes; Migration; Mineralogy; Rad | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-48339-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-56917-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-48339-8 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2016 |
