本文比较了23对取自英国考古人类的头发角蛋白和骨胶原的同位素值。目的是检验现代人类同位素数据是否可以与考古同位素数据直接比较。骨胶原和头发角蛋白同位素值之间的平均差异在δ 13 C中为0-1/mil，在δ 15 N中为0-2/mil，但具有高度的可变性，使得不可能量化胶原和角蛋白之间的同位素关系。然而，缺乏关于分析的个体的信息表明，这种比较可能不是比较两种组织的理想方法。
This paper presents a comparison of the isotopic values of 23 pairings of hair keratin and bone collagen taken from archaeological humans excavated in the U.K. with the aim of examining whether modern human isotopic data can be directly compared with archaeological isotopic data. The mean differences between bone collagen and hair keratin isotopic values are in the range of 0–1 per mil in δ13C and 0–2 per mil in δ15N, but with a high degree of variability, making it impossible to quantify the isotopic relationship between collagen and keratin. However, a lack of information about the individuals analysed suggests that such a comparison may not be the ideal method of comparing the two tissues.
