Isotope Investigations in Archaeology: Methods and Applications

About

The Summer School in Isotope Investigations in Archaeology offers an exciting, hands-on introduction to stable isotope analysis (C, N, O, H, S, Sr) and its applications in archaeology.

Through the study of ceramics, marble, bones, and teeth, you will uncover the secrets of ancient diets, human mobility, and material exchange across past civilizations.

Thanks to a mix of lectures, real-world case studies, and advanced lab sessions, participants will be able to gain both theoretical insight and practical skills: you will learn how to analyze bones, teeth, and artefacts, and interpret isotopic data within its archaeological context.

International experts will guide you on how to work with cutting-edge instruments such as IRMS and MC-ICP-MS.

A truly interdisciplinary experience bridging archaeology, geochemistry, and material science awaits you
