2006 Strontium Isotopes from the Earth to the Archaeological Skeleton: A Review. Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory13(3): 138–187.
In this article, Bentley provides a review of and explains the various ways in which strontium isotopes are used in archaeology, as well as potential problems with their analysis. He gives a detailed description of what strontium isotopic ratio analysis is, and how these numbers can indicate mobility through life. While a very informative article, it contained a lot of raw calculations and numbers that were hard to follow. It added many other points to consider in research into what strontium isotopes can tell us as well as precautions needed to be considered when doing research of …show more content…

In this paper, Ezzo explains in great scientific detail the methods of various isotopic analysis procedures, and how they can relate to the reconstruction of diet in past civilizations. He indicates another use for strontium isotopic analysis, not only looking migration patterns but also at how strontium can indicate popular foods in prehistoric diets and how strontium is by far the superior metal to look at. While it was not as pertinent to the research as originally thought, it provided explanations into why strontium was used over other elements, as well as the methods behind the analysis of it.

This article tells about the scientific processes and thinking behind the various isotopic analysis, and how these are joined into archaeological examinations and findings. When discussing the strontium isotope, the article mentions its association with oxygen isotopes and how the two together can aid in determining mobility. The methods of sampling are also described in detail. The article was very explanatory, but not as meaningful to the research. While descriptive and thorough, it was not vital to the project.
