We primarily work with human and animal remains from archaeological contexts from around the world. Samples are manually prepared, chemically treated, and primary products extracted according to lab protocols for collagen and carbonate analysis from osteological tissues.\u00a0 We focus on the analysis of stable isotopes of carbon (<em>\u03b4<\/em><sup>13<\/sup>C), nitrogen (<em>\u03b4<\/em><sup>15<\/sup>N), and oxygen (<em>\u03b4<\/em><sup>18<\/sup>O).<\/p>\n<p><em>We are committed to an inclusive and safe research and work community. We recognize that we have a diverse group of faculty, staff, and students, and we embrace and value the diversity of all our members.
