Sampling shells for seasonality: oxygen isotope analysis on shell carbonates of the inter-tidal gastropod Monodonta lineata (da Costa) from populations across its modern range and from a Mesolithic site in southern Britain (2003, background): “It has been established, and generally accepted, that the ratios of stable oxygen isotopes in the shell carbonates of many gastropod and bivalve molluscs can be useful indicators of season of death and, therefore, in archaeological contexts, season of collection by human foragers [2,7,8,12].”
