On the one hand the\namounts of certain elementsin bone (strontium, zinc) serve\nas measures of protein, fiber, and calcium  intake. On the\nother hand, the ratios of carbon isotopes and of             nitrogen\nisotopes provide information on questions of fish vs.              meat,\nherbivore vs. carnivore, or (for animals) browser (shrubs)\nvs.    grazer (grasses). Such information can provide a window\non many aspects of  prehistoric cultures and can supplement\nthe nonskeletal archaeological      record. In addition to these\ntwo approaches, the biochemical record in bone from protein\nand nucleic acids such as DNA serves as a source               of\nnondietary information such as genetic relationships. This\nvolume    treats all three subjects.: elemental, isotopic, and\nbiochemical. The       foremost experts in the areas provide\nfundamental descriptions of the       techniques, express their\nconcerns over the limitations of the methods, and describe\nrecent applications to archaeological studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-01-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783662028964\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-662-02894-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 313\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44395436408972,"sku":"9783662028964","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783662028964.jpg?v=1776532368","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783662028964","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
