Isotopes on the beach, Part 1: Strontium isotope ratios as a provenance indicator for lime raw materials used in Roman glassmaking KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
The provenancing of Roman natron glass is one of the most challenging problems in the field of archaeometry. Although the use of Sr and Nd isotope ratios and trace element signatures as an indication of provenance has proven promising, there are still many unknowns. In this study, the influence of the different raw materials on the final Sr isotopic composition of Roman natron glass is examined. It is shown that the 87Sr/86Sr ratio in natron ...
Isotopes on the beach, Part 2: Neodymium isotopic analysis for the provenancing of Roman glass-making KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
In this study, we have evaluated the applicability of Nd isotopic analysis for the provenancing of Roman glass and we present a database of Nd isotopic compositions of possible sand raw materials from the western Mediterranean, as a means of comparison for the growing number of isotopic studies on ancient glass. The 143Nd/144Nd isotope ratio of sands is a good indicator for their geological (and sometimes geographical) provenance. The use of the ...

Variation in the isotopic composition of zinc in the natural environment and the use of zinc isotopes in biogeosciences: a review Universiteit Gent
The influence of physiological and lifestyle factors on essential mineral element isotopic compositions in the human body: implications for the design of isotope metallomics research Universiteit Gent
In the last 20 years, the application of high-precision isotopic analysis of essential mineral elements (Mg, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, and Zn) to biomedicine (sometimes referred to as isotope metallomics) has revealed that their stable isotopic compositions are altered by the metal dysregulation that is fundamental to the pathogenesis of many cancers and other diseases. Despite many published works showing the diagnostic and prognostic potential of this ...
High-precision isotopic analysis of essential mineral elements in biomedicine : natural isotope ratio variations as potential diagnostic and/or prognostic markers Universiteit Gent
Isotope mixing models require individual isotopic tracer content for correct quantification of sediment source contributions Universiteit Gent
The use of isotopic tracers for sediment source apportionment is gaining interest with recent introduction of compound-specific stable isotope tracers. The method relies on linear mixing of source isotopic tracers, and deconvolution of a sediment mixture initially quantifies the contribution of sources to the mixture's tracer signature. Therefore, a correction to obtain real sediment source proportions is subsequently required. As far as we are ...
