“…Pb isotope analysis of tooth enamel is becoming an increasingly important method of analysis for constraining geographic origins in humans and animals [1][2][3][4][5][6] as it provides another dimension in the assessment of origins of populations in Britain by combining multiple isotope proxies. The primary aims of this paper are to 1) demonstrate the potential of lead (Pb) isotope analysis to provide a geographic discriminant between the two major tectonic zones of Great Britain, 2) to show that geological Pb signatures are transferred to the fauna exploiting these in the past and 3) to use the method to refine the geographic constraint of the origins of pigs found at several Neolithic henges in southern England.…”

“…Alternative methods of defining geospatial distribution of Pb isotope compositions therefore have to be found. In an American-based study, prehistoric wild animal data are suggested as the best proxy for biosphere-assimilated Pb [ 6 ] and there is much sense in this recommendation. However, such material is hard to come by in Britain.…”
