ABSTRACT: Isotope archaeology is an ever-growing field, and in recent years applications to zooarchaeological remains have increased – both as a means of understanding the human past, but also as a means of better understanding plasticity in the behaviour of animals. Focusing on modern experimental studies and Late Pleistocene archaeological applications of the Leverhulme-funded PleistoHERD project, this talk will explore the integration of strontium isotope analyses with spatial ecology tools to better reconstruct seasonal faunal biogeography and to better understand the living landscapes of Palaeolithic Europe.
