Best practices for selecting samples, analysing data, and publishing results in isotope archaeology by Vaiglova, P, Lazar, NA, Stroud, EA, Loftus, E, Makarewicz, CA

“…This paper represents an effort to clarify some of the most pressing weaknesses and misconceptions in &lsquo;traditional&rsquo; applications of isotopic techniques in archaeology: measurement of stable carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotope values of organic and inorganic materials (bulk bone collagen, bulk tooth dentine, seeds; bulk and incremental&nbsp;tooth enamel, molluscan shells), and strontium&nbsp;isotope ratio&nbsp;analysis of&nbsp;tooth enamel&nbsp;and cremated bone. The discussion centers on three key aspects of research:</p> <p>(1) Selecting samples, with advice on building comparative baselines (or more appropriately &lsquo;base<em>intervals</em>&rsquo;) and words of caution on interpreting stable carbon isotope values measured during&nbsp;AMS&nbsp;radiocarbon dating.…”
