Skeleton You inspire my inner serial killer shirt

Skeleton You inspire my inner serial killer shirt mentioned above, we can tell a few more things. An important one is where an individual grew up, which we can tell through isotopes in teeth and bone and also hair and nails if preserved. The water around the world has varying mineral levels, and those minerals have varying levels of isotopes or different numbers of neutrons. The most useful for this purpose are strontium and oxygen. As your teeth and bones grow, they absorb these minerals alongside calcium, and those isotopes are integrated into your bone chemistry. If we’re investigating movement and migration around the ancient world, it’s pretty interesting to know. Nutritional status is an interesting detail to mention. We can’t tell such an exact thing from just one skeleton unless the individual suffered from rickets or scurvy.
