Abstract

Abstract This chapter explores the intricate challenges of interpreting isotopic data for paleodiet and paleomobility studies in island and coastal regions. Isotope analyses have become indispensable for unraveling past lifeways, ranging from human diet and mobility to animal husbandry and subsistence practices. Notably, dietary studies extend beyond mere reconstructions, probing into broader biosocial, cultural, and political aspects of the past. In this chapter, the authors bring together global archaeological isotope specialists to present regional overviews and address the complexities associated with interpreting isotope data in island and coastal regions. They hope this chapter serves as a valuable resource for researchers navigating similar environments and fosters an enhanced understanding of isotope science within the context of broader (bio)archaeological investigations.
