2023, Quaternary InternationalCitation Excerpt :We agree that a fractionation of 14‰ (from Cerling and Harris, 1999) is almost certainly inappropriate for most hominins. Indeed, a <14‰ diet-enamel fractionation is consistent with existing data on chimpanzees (Carter, 2001; Smith et al., 2010), baboons, and humans (Lee-Thorp et al., 1989a; Lee-Thorp, 1989; Kellner and Schoeninger, 2007). However, it is crucial to note that few hominin isotopic studies employ a 14‰ fractionation.
TOOTHFIR: Presenting a dataset and a preliminary meta-analysis of Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectroscopy indices from archaeological and palaeontological tooth enamel
2023, Quaternary InternationalCitation Excerpt :Stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope analysis of tooth enamel bioapatite, in particular, respectively record the signals of the dietary carbon mix consumed and ingested water imbibed during the time window of enamel formation (Lee-Thorp et al., 1989; Bocherens et al., 1991; Fricke and O'Neil, 1996; Passey et al., 2005; Fernandes et al., 2012). These isotopic proxies have demonstrated broad temporal, geographical, and theoretical scope, including in the reconstruction of hominid and faunal diets back to more than 9 million years ago (Lee-Thorp et al., 1989; Bocherens et al., 1991; Quade et al., 1995; Richards et al., 2000; Nelson, 2007; Lee-Thorp, 2008; Levin et al., 2008; White et al., 2009; Uno et al., 2011; Roberts et al., 2017). Other proxies of interest applied to tooth enamel include trace elements employed in paleodietary studies, strontium isotopes to study mobility, and U-series for dating purposes (Lee-Thorp and Sponheimer, 2003; Sponheimer and Lee-Thorp, 2006; Benson et al., 2013).
