On the one hand theamounts of certain elementsin bone (strontium, zinc) serveas measures of protein, fiber, and calciumintake. On theother hand, the ratios of carbon isotopes and of nitrogenisotopes provide information on questions of fish vs.meat,herbivore vs. carnivore, or (for animals) browser (shrubs)vs.grazer (grasses). Such information can provide a windowon many aspects ofprehistoric cultures and can supplementthe nonskeletal archaeologicalrecord. In addition to thesetwo approaches, the biochemical record in bone from proteinand nucleic acids such as DNA serves as a source ofnondietary information such as genetic relationships. Thisvolumetreats all three subjects.: elemental, isotopic, andbiochemical. The foremost experts in the areas providefundamental descriptions of the techniques, express theirconcerns over the limitations of the methods, and describerecent applications to archaeological studies. | 出版日期 | Book 1993 | 关键词 | Archaeology; Calcium; DNA; Knochen; Knochenchemie; Paläoanthropologie; ancien diet; anthropology; archeology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-02894-0 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-662-02896-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-02894-0 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1993 |
