Abstract

The isotope relations measured in human bone and teeth (87Sr/86Sr, δ13C, δ15N, and δ18O) are used to rebuild diet and mobility patterns. Carbon and nitrogen isotopes applied on the collagen from human and fauna bones are used to study the diet. On the other hand, strontium and oxygen isotope relations measured in the teeth have been used in human mobility studies. This work also shows the results of three archaeological sites of Middle Age to see the application of these methods. The used archaeological sites have been San Juan de Momoitio (Biscay), Tauste (Zaragoza) and Las Gobas (Treviño).
