人类遗骸的同位素分析已被用于了解生存的各个方面，并为物质文化变化背后的机制提供了见解。中西部的考古学家利用它们来追踪重大的变化，比如玉米的引入和社会组织的相关变化。然而，这些破坏性试验可能产生有关人体遗骸处理的伦理和法律问题。犬类代孕方法（CSA）是使用家狗遗骸作为人类遗骸的代理。狗的同位素值通常反映了人类同伴的同位素值，从而避免了在不牺牲科学研究的情况下销毁人类遗骸的需要。本文讨论了大湖区西部地区CSA的有效性。
Isotopic analyses of human remains have been used to gain insights into aspects of subsistence and provide insights into mechanisms behind changes in material culture. Midwest archaeologists have used them to track major shifts such as the introduction of maize and associated changes in social organization. However, these destructive tests can create ethical and legal issues concerning the treatment of human remains. The Canine Surrogacy Approach (CSA) is the use of domestic dog remains as a proxy for human remains. Dog isotope values generally mirror their human companions', thereby circumventing the need to destroy human remains without sacrificing scientific research. This paper addresses the efficacy of CSA in the western Great Lakes.
