摘要: This study explores the potential of carbon and oxygen isotope data from human enamel carbonate (n = 50) to contribute mobility studies in Caribbean. Most results display limited variation, with substantial overlap between islands. However, a few individuals El Chorro de Maita, Cuba possess relatively low δ18O high δ13C. Two these were previously identified as possible non-Antillean immigrants on basis strontium isotopes, bioarchaeological mortuary evidence. The provide additional evidence supporting proposed non-local origins explorations their natal origins.
