The paper discusses the potential for using the results of the analysis of the chemical element composition in human enamel, dentin, and bone tissue to verify the data obtained from the analysis of δ15N and δ13C stable isotopes. A significant influence of diagenesis was noted for human bone tissues from the Kamennyi Ambar-5 burial ground. Elevated concentrations of Sr, Ba, and Mn in some samples of tooth enamel and dentin coincide with the low values of δ13C isotopes for these individuals. However, in other respects, the sample does not demonstrate a direct correlation between the trace element composition of human teeth and a decrease/increase in the stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon. Several method limitations are also noted, which do not allow concluding directly on the human diet, even when compared with known isotopic data. Thus, the elemental analysis of chemical elements can be hardly used to verify and supplement data obtained through other analyses.

摘要

The paper discusses the potential for using the results of the analysis of the chemical element composition in human enamel, dentin, and bone tissue to verify the data obtained from the analysis of δ15N and δ13C stable isotopes. A significant influence of diagenesis was noted for human bone tissues from the Kamennyi Ambar-5 burial ground. Elevated concentrations of Sr, Ba, and Mn in some samples of tooth enamel and dentin coincide with the low values of δ13C isotopes for these individuals. However, in other respects, the sample does not demonstrate a direct correlation between the trace element composition of human teeth and a decrease/increase in the stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon. Several method limitations are also noted, which do not allow concluding directly on the human diet, even when compared with known isotopic data. Thus, the elemental analysis of chemical elements can be hardly used to verify and supplement data obtained through other analyses.
