| Abstract | Isotope analysis is a scientific tool that provides information about the origin of materials and the use of resources in nature. In recent years, isotopic maps (called Isoscapes), have been used to study the history of human migrations and to identify the provenance of artifacts. This international symposium will introduce research topics in Latin America, where this approach has been particularly well developed, and exchange information on what insights this method can provide for archaeological research. Finally, we would like to introduce research in Japan and discuss the prospects for the method in Japan. |
