This thesis describes the development, testing and application of a technique for extending carbon isotopic dietary tracing millions of years in time,. using the mineral phase of calcified tissues (apatite) as alternative sample material to collagen. The results reported here provide empirical evidence for the validity of the technique. Investigation of the isotopic relationships between diet, collagen and apatite, using a large sample of modem fauna with known diets, confirms that the isotopic relationship between collagen and apatite changes with trophic level. 2016-09-12T08:36:15Z 2016-09-12T08:36:15Z 1989 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/21732 eng application/pdf Department of Archaeology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
