On the one hand the amounts of certain elementsin bone (strontium, zinc) serve as measures of protein, fiber, and calcium intake. On the other hand, the ratios of carbon isotopes and of nitrogen isotopes provide information on questions of fish vs. meat, herbivore vs. carnivore, or (for animals) browser (shrubs) vs. grazer (grasses). Such information can provide a window on many aspects of prehistoric cultures and can supplement the nonskeletal archaeological record. In addition to these two approaches, the biochemical record in bone from protein and nucleic acids such as DNA serves as a source of nondietary information such as genetic relationships. This volume treats all three subjects.: elemental, isotopic, and biochemical. The foremost experts in the areas provide fundamental descriptions of the techniques, express their concerns over the limitations of the methods, and describe recent applications to archaeological studies. 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aCell biology 606 $aBiochemistry 606 $aMineralogy 606 $aAnalytical chemistry 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aCell biology. 615 0$aBiochemistry. 615 0$aMineralogy. 615 0$aAnalytical chemistry. 676 $a301 702 $aLambert$b Joseph B$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGrupe$b Gisela$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792487503321 996 $aPrehistoric human bone$93732497 997 $aUNINA
