Stable isotopes present in local ground water get into people's teeth before they are 12 years old, and act as a signature to the area where they grew up (and drank the water). In a review of recent work in Britain the authors show the huge potential... Read More about Investigating population movement by stable isotope analysis: a report from Britain.
