Pastoralists were a vital economic and social force in ancient
societies around the globe, transforming landscapes poorly suited
for agriculture into spaces of vast productive potential while
simultaneously connecting mobile and sedentary communities alike
across considerable distances. Drawing from the rich archaeological
records of Asia, Africa, and Europe, Isotopic Investigations of
Pastoralism in Prehistory brings together the latest studies
employing heavy and light stable isotopic analyses of humans and
animals to investigate pastoralist diets, movement, and animal
management strategies. The contributions presented in this volume
highlight new methodological developments while simultaneously
drawing attention to the diverse environmental factors that
contribute to isotopic variation in human, plant, and animal
tissues. Particular attention is paid to how pastoralist decisions
regarding animal pasturing and mobility can be teased out of
complex isotopic datasets, and also to the challenges in extracting
information on the scales of human mobility in pastoralist
landscapes. This volume will appeal to scholars in archaeology,
anthropology, and ecology, as well as those with interests in
animal management.
