An example of a likelihood approach to using isotope results for provenance identification of a specimen. This study evaluated both the δ 18 O (top) and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr (middle) for the specimen and cross-referenced the results (bottom) to narrow the possible areas of provenance.

Modern mobility studies of prehistoric individuals using strontium isotopes are dependent on the establishment of relevant bioavailable strontium isotope baselines. Strontium is a trace element, with four naturally occurring isotopes ( 84 Sr, 86 Sr, 87 Sr, 88 Sr) out of which three are stable and one ( 87 Sr) is radiogenic, derived from the ...

Periodic Table--Strontium. The alkali earth metal strontium has four stable, naturally occurring isotopes: 84 Sr (0.56%), 86 Sr (9.86%), 81 Sr (7.0%) and 88 Sr (82.58%). Only 87 Sr is radiogenic; it is produced by decay from the radioactive alkali metal 87 Rb, which has a half-life of 48,800,000 years. Thus, there are two sources of 87 Sr in any material: …

Rationale. In situ strontium (Sr) isotope analysis of geological samples by laser ablation multiple collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICP-MS) provides useful information about magma mixing, crustal contamination and crystal residence time. Without chemical separation, during Sr isotope analysis with laser …

Strontium (Sr) isotopes are widely applied tracers in geoscientific applications. One of the four stable isotopes (87 Sr) is subject to long-term radiogenic ingrowth by radioactive decay of rubidium (87 Rb).Resultant isotope variations in 87 Sr/ 86 Sr, but also other stable isotope variations, can be employed to trace mixing of global …

Abstract. The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio has been extensively used in groundwater studies for several reasons. While classified geochemically as a trace element, Sr is found in easily measurable quantities in a wide variety of rocks. It is soluble in aqueous solution as the +2 ion and is geochemically very similar to Ca, the latter a major alkaline ...

The element strontium has four naturally occurring isotopes: 84 Sr, 86 Sr, 87 Sr, and 88 Sr. Only 87 Sr is radiogenic – produced by the β-decay of 87 Rb with a half-life of 48.8 billion years. The most abundant strontium …

Strontium isotopic ratios are widely used as tracers in geological processes and as indicators of provenance in an archaeological context. A significant fraction of the Earth's 87 Sr is not primordial, but is produced by the decay of 87 Rb. Geochemically, Strontium follows Calcium, while Rubidium follows Potassium; thus, the geological variability of Sr …

Bioavailable strontium isotope analysis was proposed for prehistoric human ecology almost 40 years ago and rapidly became one of the most important tools to trace past migratory behaviours. Since its first introduction to China in 2003, this method has greatly improved our understanding of migrations on individual- and community-scales …
