Trace element distribution in human cortical bone microstructure: the potential for unravelling diet and social status in archaeological bones

Abstract Variation in the trace element chemistry of cortical bone microstructure is delineated for interred and non-interred human femora. This was done to investigate the range of element concentrations that might occur within single bones, specifically the original laminar bone and later osteons,...
