Isotope analysis in archaeology is a scientific technique used to study the chemical signatures of materials, particularly human remains, animal bones, and artifacts, through the measurement of isotopic ratios. Isotopes are variants of elements that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, leading to differences in their atomic mass. The ratios of these isotopes can provide valuable information about past environments, diets, migration patterns, and social structures.
