“…Carbon and nitrogen isotope signatures of bone and antler are now often used to reconstruct the ecological conditions in which ancient deer lived, to track past habitat changes in the vicinity of the sites of recovery, and to infer past human management practices . They are also used to define isotopic baselines with which human isotope signatures can be compared .…”

“…Researchers often consider antler and bone δ 13 C and δ 15 N values collectively; however, at present the question of whether bone and antler isotope signatures are equivalent and directly comparable has not been thoroughly addressed. A large body of research shows that individuals of all species yet studied are not isotopically homogeneous, with different body tissue having different isotopic ratios within individuals on constant diets depending on turnover rate and tissue composition .…”

RATIONALEBone and antler collagen δ 13 C and δ15 N values are often assumed to be equivalent when measured in palaeodietary, palaeoclimate and palaeocological studies. Although compositionally similar, bone grows slowly and is remodelled whereas antler growth is rapid and remodelling does not occur. These different patterns of growth could result in isotopic difference within antler and between the two tissue types. Here we test whether red deer (Cervus elaphus) bone and antler δ 13 C and δ15 N values are isotopically equivalent, and whether intra-antler isotopic values are uniform. METHODSBone and antler were isotopically analysed from 6 stags that lived in a temperate maritime climate on Isle of Rum, Scotland. Multiple antlers from different years were sampled per individual, together with a single bone sample per individual. Up to 12 samples were taken along the length of each antler (total of 25 antlers, 259 samples) so that a chronological record of the isotopic composition during antler growth could be obtained. Collagen was extracted and its δ 13 C and δ 15 N values were measured by continuous-flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry. RESULTS Intra CONCLUSIONSBone and antler collagen δ 13 C and δ 15 N values are not isotopically equivalent and are therefore not directly comparable in palaeodietary, palaeoclimate and palaeocological studies. Bone and antler collagen isotopic differences likely relate to differential 2 metabolic processes during the formation of the two tissues. Intra and inter-antler isotopic variations likely reflect the isotopic composition of an individual's diet rather than physiological parameters, and may have potential to provide high-resolution individual-specific information in modern and ancient cervid populations.

“…Analize izotopa ugljenika uglavnom se koriste za proučavanje ljudske i životinjske ishrane, međutim, razne studije pokazuju i njihov potencijal za rekonstrukciju stategija stočarstva i lova, upravljanje stadima, korišćenje pejzaža i rekonstrukciju lokalnog okruženja (Hammond and O'Connor 2013;Pilaar Birch 2013;Stevens et al 2013;Madgwick et al 2013;Doppler et al 2015). Princip na kome se zasniva rekonstrukcija ishrane podrazumeva razlikovanje vrednosti ugljenika (δ 13 C) kod biljaka koje na različit način vrše fotosintezu (C 3 i C 4 biljke) ili razlikovanje kopnenih i vodenih biljaka (DeNiro and Epstein 1978, 495, 505).…”

Apstrakt: U dugoj tradiciji proučavanja latenskog perioda na prostoru južne Panonije otvorena su mnoga pitanja, među kojima ekonomskim delatnostima, naročito zemljoradnji i stočarstvu, nije posvećena zaslužena pažnja. Postojeći arheološki podaci dozvoljavaju izvođenje hipoteze o inteziviranju naseljavanja u kasnom latenu, kao i intenziviranju poljoprivrednih aktivnosti, što su procesi koji su mogli dovesti do promena u pejzažu. Međutim, osim postojanja sporadičnih opaski u literaturi, proučavanje samog pejzaža nije bilo predmet istraživanja. Danas, razvojem arheologije pejzaža i analiza stabilnih izotopa otvorene su mogućnosti za bolje razumevanje, ne samo izgleda pejzaža, već i njegovih promena kroz vreme, kao i načina na koje su se ljudi u prošlosti u njemu kretali i koristili ga. Pri tome, treba imati u vidu da pejzaži nisu samo prostori iz kojih čovek na što racionalniji način crpe resurse, već da su oni istovremeno produkt, medij i slika različitih kolektivnih i individualnih, društvenih, simboličkih i istorijskih iskustava življenja. U ovom radu razmatraju se mogućnosti i perspektive primene analiza stabilnih izotopa ugljenika i stroncijuma na životinjskim kostima sa kasnolatenskih nalazišta u južnoj Panoniji s ciljem proveravanja postojećih i postavljanja novih hipoteza koje se tiču ne samo ekonomskih praksi, već i socio-političkih prilika.Ključne reči: kasni laten, stabilni izotopi, arheologija pejzaža, južna Panonija, ekonomija, životinjske kosti Kasni laten južne Panonije Proučavanje latenskog perioda ima veoma dugu tradiciju. Od početka 20. veka sa prostora južne Panonije prikupljen je veliki korpus arheološke građe, među kojom je najviše pažnje pridavano keramičkim i metalnim nalazima. Njihovom stilsko-tipološkom analizom stvorena je osnova za postavljanje hipoteza i donošenje zaključaka o temama koje se tiču naseljavanja Kelta, etnogeneze * Ovaj tekst nastao je kao rezultat rada na projektu Bioarheologija drevne Evrope -ljudi, životinje i biljke u praistoriji Srbije (III 47001) koji finansira Ministarstvo prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja Republike Srbije.

Isotopic analysis of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur can be used to effectively identify halophytic foods in palaeodiet.…”

Compass aims to navigate its readers through the four exciting fields of Anthropology. Our student journal highlights the exemplary level of academic research in Anthropology at the University of Alberta and elsewhereCompass is published annually as collaboration between the Association of Graduate Anthropology Students (AGAS) and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alberta. Formerly Diversipede, our student-run publication allows undergraduate and graduate students to share their work and ideas, creating a platform for discussion and knowledge. Submissions consist of original ongoing research, reviews of current anthropological issues, and anything related to an anthropological interest form any of the sub-fields. https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/compass The Creative Commons-Attribution License 4.0 International applies to all works published by Compass.

COMPASS: The Student Anthropology Journal of Alberta A Note from the Editors in Chief,Roughly one year ago Katherine came to Victoria with a proposition to create a student journal. We ended up discussing publishing opportunities and went through our previous experiences. While completing her degrees at Ontario Universities, Katherine was given the opportunity to work on two student journals. She had seen the benefits of students working with the publishing process in a lowstakes environment. Coming from a Dutch University, Victoria never had the opportunity to work with a student journal as it simply was not a practice there, but felt the need and desire to do so. Despite our different backgrounds we both enthusiastically agreed that a student journal would afford students chances to get involved and become better writers.We set out to create a platform that fosters a less stressful and more hands-on publishing environment for everyone. Although our department already had an Anthropology Journal (Diversipede), it was not well known and all of the previous staff had since graduated. We wanted to give the journal a makeover to be inclusive to all members of our department, bring the journal into an open-access forum to reach a larger audience, and format the process to allow more students to get involved. After months of working with our (at that time) small team of volunteers and library liaison, we had a website, a logo, and a growing interest in publishing our first issue. More volunteers came on board and after months of reviews, copyedits, and formatting later, we are proud to introduce our first issue. We sincerely thank all those who helped bring this issue to fruition, and hope that this is the first of many.Although this is the "Anthropology Journal of Alberta", we encourage any student to get involved and welcome any who are interested in submitting their work or becoming revie...
