Comparative Evaluation of Temporospatial 206Pb/207PB isoscapes for Provenancing of Human Remains

Abstract

Geospatially distributed isotopes (isoscapes) from biogeochemically fractionated processes have been applied to many forensic investigations, including authentication of food and sourcing of drugs. The identification of human remains using isotopes is hindered by the lack of appropriate isoscapes as well as by homogenization processes.
