Across the Alps in Prehistory Isotopic Mapping of the Brenner Passage by Bioarchaeology /
At the heart of this book is the matter of how isotopic landscapes combined with data mining enriches insights on prehistoric migration and cultural transfer. Isotopic mapping is an indispensable tool for the assessment of mobility and trade in the past, but is limited by eco-geographic redundancies...
