“…Although terrestrial biogenic inputs to the atmosphere can have very negative 634S values (-32 to -6?&) (Nielsen 1974), there should bc little terrestrial biogenic input, since the distance over which the marine moisture has to travel before it gets to the Manso catchment is only 70 km. Furthermore, marine moisture is thought to be more important in high mountain areas; this is reflected in the more positive d34S values (up to values -+ 1 ~Y&I) compared to surrounding lowlands (Chukhrov et al 1980). Continental lowland-type precipitation typically has less positive 634S values (i.e.…”

“…Oceanic inputs of sulfur into the atmosphere are believed to be mainly from sea-salt aerosols and biogenically produced dimethyl sulfide gas (DMS) (Charlsson et al 1987). The 634S value of seasalt aerosols can be assumed equivalent to seawater (20-22%o) (Chukhrov et al 1980). However, the SO, : Cl molar ratio in the local precipitation is between 1 and 3, indicating that all the SO, is nonsea-salt sulfur (Table 1).…”

Data from three glacial meltwater streams draining Mt. Tronador in the southern Argentine Andes (72"W, 4 1"s) show that subglacial pyrite oxidation and the subsequent precipitation of iron oxides strongly influence dissolved phosphate concentrations but do not appear to affect dissolved germanium concentrations. Total-Fe (TFe) and total-P (TP) concentrations are high in all three glacial streams, but the ratios of soluble reactive phosphate (SRP) to TP are very different, The Upper Manso Stream that drains the Manso Glacier has relatively low SRP (0.01-0.23 PM), representing a small fraction of its TP (O. l-5%). The SRP of the two streams draining smaller side glaciers (0.124.69 PM) represents a much larger portion of their TP (20-32%). TFe, dissolved sulfate, and 634S data suggest that pyrite oxidation is the most likely weathering reaction contributing sulfate to the Upper Manso Stream but not to the two smaller glacialfed streams, in which atmospheric inputs can account for all of the sulfate. Dissolved Ge appears to show no preferential sorption relative to dissolved silica, in contrast to the speculation that Ge preferentially sorbs on fresh iron hydroxyoxide surfaces.Rock-water interactions are an important part of the geochemical cycles of the earth, ultimately controlling the compositions of rivers, streams, and lakes-both dissolved and suspended solids-and thus the fluxes of chemicals to the sea. Sorption-desorption reactions with surfaces of suspended solids strongly affect the dissolved composition of waters, and the riverine fluxes of most elements are dominated by the suspended solids load (Martin and Meybeck 1979).Two driving forces of rock-water reactions are acid hydrolysis reactions and the formation of fresh solid surfaces for sorption reactions. Pyrite oxidation provides both. Its oxidation produces sulfuric acid, and iron hydroxyoxides are precipitated as a by-product.

“…The results of δ 34 S analysis supported the possible use of fish fertilizer, although this is not conclusive. Most plants take up sulfur from soil as a sulfate (SO 4 2-) and from the atmosphere as sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) (Nehlich, 2015), and researchers revealed consistent δ 34 S values for soil and plant tissues (Chukhrov et al, 1980;Peterson and Fry, 1987). Since the δ 34 S value of the rice hull is closer to the marine range (Figure 4), the paddy field of rice would be influenced by marine sulfur.…”

From cradle to grave: multi-isotopic investigations on the life history of a higher-status female from Edo-period Japan

The life history of a female individual skeleton (ST61) from the Edo period (AD 1603(AD -1868 was investigated by using multi-tissue and multi-isotope analyses. Her gravestone and historical documents revealed that ST61 was a grandmother of a chief retainer of the Akashi clan who died in 1732 aged 77 years. Radiocarbon and sulfur stable isotope analyses indicated that the contribution of marine foods to the ST61 diet was relatively low (17.2% protein) despite the relatively higher nitrogen isotope ratio of the rib bone collagen. Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of the serial section of tooth dentin along the growth lines indicated that breast milk was not the major protein source of ST61 after roughly 1-1.5 years of age, although this weaning pattern was not evident from the oxygen stable isotope ratios of her tooth enamel serial sections. The carbon stable isotopes in tooth dentin collagen and tooth enamel apatite suggested that her diet from 0.5 to 5 years of age possibly contained a small proportion of C 4 plants. Stable isotope ratios of the rib bone and the tooth dentin collagen differed, consistent with historical documents describing a residential change at the age of 27. The calibrated radiocarbon ages of the associated rice hull were at least 80-120 years older than the year of death of ST61. Sulfur stable isotope ratio of the rice hull suggested that fish fertilizers might have been used for paddy rice at that time. Multi-tissue and multi-isotope analyses can provide information of several kinds from different time windows even from an individual skeleton.

“…Mammalian body tissue protein d 34 S values differ by the proportion of methionine and cysteine residues because these amino acids undergo different metabolism and thus different fractionation, in animals and plants (Tanz and Schmidt, 2010;Tcherkez and Tea, 2013). While the d 34 S values of animals from marine ecosystems cluster between 17 and 21& (Peterson and Fry, 1987;Krouse et al, 1991) because of the uniformity of sea water d 34 S values (Rees et al, 1978;Chukhrov et al, 1980), animals in terrestrial ecosystems can vary because of the wide range of d…”

Biogeochemical methods using stable isotopes and trace elements have been increasingly developed and applied to reconstruct modern and ancient breastfeeding and weaning practices of mammals, including humans, because they offer direct proxies for the dietary intake of subadults. Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotopes have been used to evaluate breast milk lipid, protein, and water intake, respectively. Carbon and sulfur isotopes have been used to estimate the content of weaning foods. The elemental concentrations of Sr and Ba in subadult tissues differ because of the dietary change during the weaning process. For analyses, various tissues have been used, such as hair, nail, blood, and feces for modern mammals and bone and teeth for ancient ones. Of these, trace element analysis of tooth enamel offers a good opportunity for the reconstruction of breastfeeding and weaning practices of the more distant past at finer resolution, although further understanding of the metabolism of trace elements is necessary. There are various tissue-and element-specific advantages and disadvantages, and a combination of different proxies can illuminate practices from various viewpoints. Finally, applying the geochemical reconstruction of breastfeeding and weaning practices to human ecology, primatology, and paleoanthropology is important; basic studies of the underlying physiological mechanisms and technical improvements in the analyses will further highlight avenues for future research. Yrbk Phys Anthropol 156:2-21, 2015. V C 2014 American Association of Physical AnthropologistsThe reconstruction of breastfeeding and weaning practices (BWPs) of ancient human and other mammalian species is one of the most important fields in anthropology, archaeology, evolutionary biology, and history. Infant feeding practices affect the overall health of the population because diet, health status, and growth at a young age have profound effects on an individual's later life (Dettwyler and Fishman, 1992;Katzenberg et al., 1996;WHO, 1998WHO, , 2009Lewis, 2007). Breastfeeding and weaning practices can be viewed from the evolutionary perspectives of life history theory, parental investment, child development, social system, and reproductive strat-
