我们进行了结合稳定的碳，氮和硫同位素分析海洋和陆地动物遗骸从两个史前沿海贝壳贝冢在丹麦。调查的目的是确定硫同位素是否有助于区分该区域的陆地和海洋消费者。我们发现，硫同位素分离海洋和陆地动物，但与我们的预期相反，我们观察到三角洲S-34和三角洲C-13值的海洋动物之间的负相关性。我们的结论是，在硫同位素可以可靠地用于研究沿海资源开发之前，需要在更广泛的地理范围内进行类似的研究。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
We undertook combined stable carbon, nitrogen and sulphur isotope analysis of marine and terrestrial faunal remains from two prehistoric coastal shell middens in Denmark. The aim of the investigation was to establish whether sulphur isotopes were useful in discriminating terrestrial and marine consumers in this region. We found that sulphur isotopes do separate marine and terrestrial fauna but, contrary to our expectations, we observed a negative correlation between delta S-34 and delta C-13 values for marine fauna. We conclude that similar studies over a broader geographical range are needed before sulphur isotopes can be reliably used to study coastal resource exploitation. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
