摘要
The temptation to use biogeochemical techniques to resolve issues of paleomigration is evident and well intentioned. Knowledge of radiogenic strontium isotope baselines in a region of interest is a sine qua non of such archaeological studies of paleomobility. Here, we present the first detailed study of baseline Sr-87/Sr-86 values for the island of Puerto Rico. The high degree of Sr-87/Sr-86 variability present in this corpus of modern Puerto Rican bedrock and terrestrial malacological samples (0.70406-0.70909) is a testament to the complex geology of that island. This diversity of Sr-87/Sr-86 values makes parsing issues of origin a difficult and highly contingent task. Given these complexities, regional studies seeking to assess paleomigration by such isotopic means should proceed with a great deal of caution. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
