Neanderthal diets in central and southeastern Mediterranean Iberia (2013, methodology): “This technique is based on the principle that the isotopic composition of the food eaten by both animals and humans is recorded on their body tissues after a predictable isotope fractionation (Schoeller, 1999, and see reviews by; Ambrose, 1993; Katzenberg, 2000; Sealy, 2001; Lee-Thorp, 2008).”
Bone deep: variation in stable isotope ratios and histomorphometric measurements of bone remodelling within adult humans (2017, background): “Nitrogen incorporation into plant biomolecules can occur in three different ways: direct nitrogen fixation from air, ammonium or nitrate in soil water, recycled organic nitrogen from soil (Lee-Thorp, 2008).”
Assessing the life history of an andean traveller through biogeochemistry: Stable and radiogenic isotope analyses of archaeological human remains from Northern Chile (2012, background): “…archaeological materials that have been subjected to various post-depositional processes, documenting diagenetic contamination is imperative (see overviews in Sillen, 1989; Tuross et al., 1989; Price et al., 1992; Kohn et al., 1999; Hedges, 2002; Lee-Thorp & Sponheimer, 2003; Lee-Thorp, 2008).”
