Baselines and Variabilities of Major and Trace Elements in Bone

摘要: Considering the large amount of ancient diet research based on archaeological bone, very little has been published about trace element levels in modern with exceptions Sr and Zn. It is probably significant that two volume compilation by Heydorn (1984) neutron activation for clinical does not list word bone either its indices. Much archaeometric work without reference to or clean controls (e.g. Lambert et al. 1979; Gilbert 1980; Geidel 1982; Nelson Sauer 1984; Kyle 1986; Runia 1987; Grupe Antoine 1988; Liang 1988). Few attempts have made studies include Edward Price 1985). Since it rather difficult interpret data baseline controls, some carried out try establish such human-bone trace-element concentration baselines.
