Oxygen isotopes measured in the phosphate or carbonate groups of tooth enamel hydroxyapatite have been used as proxies for paleo-climate, seasonality, and migration throughout more than a half-century research. Despite many successful applications, fundamental relationships between isotope ratios environmental forcing factors remain relatively poorly documented sometimes ambiguous. We revisit these context new large-scale study from modern humans. reaffirm that geographic variation oxygen...
The use of isotopic analysis for human mobility, geolocation, and forensic identification has become common over the past two decades, yet its effectiveness depends on availability well-documented reference data. Many data exist in literature, but suitability these applications not been critically assessed. Here, we compile oxygen strontium isotope North American tissues (hair, nails, bone, tooth enamel). We review geographic distribution data, evaluate their relationship with predicted...
The forensic application of stable oxygen isotope data from human tissues depends on naturally occurring isotopic variation in drinking water across geographic areas. One factor which complicates interpretation is local variability: if a wide range values small region it may be difficult to identify or rule out that as location origin. We examine community collection programs documenting tap within 30 cities\developed areas throughout the United States. Isotopic individual developed ranged...
Isotopic geolocation methods rely on reference data documenting spatial isotopic variation in human tissues.A growing number of studies have reported such data, collectively representing an ad hoc but potentially valuable baseline for forensic applications.The value these depends strongly several factors, however, including standardization metadata, analytical protocols, and the geographic coverage from any given tissue isotope system.We reviewed >40 which present Sr or O North American...
