The rock samples she’s working with only amount to a few grams of material. But they hold within their elements the secrets to the state of a planet two million years ago. The same laws of physics that allow her to unlock these secrets from the past are the very same forces that allowed this planet to take shape as it spun through space and become the place of abundant life that it is today, where our early ancestors could roam, and where we could exist and discover their remains. https://www.biogrip.ac.za/isotope-science-series/how-a-single-zebra-tooth-builds-an-archaeological-picture-of-africas-ancient-climate monthly 0.5 2025-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1731935464008-FVLUXQMUC285OE0UQRPO/1+Patricia+and+Lab_60.jpg Isotope science series - How a single zebra tooth builds an archaeological picture of Africa’s ancient climate Archaeological bone samples that are being analysed for stable carbon, nitrogen and sulphur isotopes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1731935464269-B5D3ZX99W9L2EGWUQ9DH/2+Patricia+and+Lab_67.jpg Isotope science series - How a single zebra tooth builds an archaeological picture of Africa’s ancient climate Powdered enamel from an extinct species of elephant (Anancus capensis) that once roamed in the vicinity of modern-day Langebaan, on the West Coast, about two hours’ drive north of Cape Town.

A family sitting down to a meal of mash potato, broccoli and lamb chops in Johannesburg a century ago would probably have had distinctly unique isotopic fingerprints in their bone, hair, and teeth, compared with a family eating a similar meal on a farm on the agricultural flats outside of Cape Town. Back then, most food was produced, distributed and eaten locally. The water and soils in these different locations would reflect the isotopic make-up of that region. As plants take up the nutrients from the soil and absorb the water, they take on those specific isotopic markers. As animals eat the plants or drink the water, and then humans eat the animals, and so on, so the isotopes leave their distinctive patterns in the cells of all of those bodies they enter or pass through. Today, this is somewhat different. The modern food system sees foods shipped across vast distances and eaten far from source. It’s quite likely, therefore, that if those two families bought their potatoes, broccoli and lamb chops from the same retail chain — Pick ’n’ Pay or Woolworths, for instance, in Johannesburg and Cape Town — they will be eating produce grown in the same part of the country but which was shipped across those retailers’ integrated distribution lines. The families’ cells wouldn’t hold isotopic clues that could hint at regional differences in where they live or their travel history. Archaeologist Patricia Groenewald says that it is true that the global networking of today’s food system does make some aspects of dietary reconstruction more challenging than if everyone was only eating locally-produced food, but this doesn’t render the method useless to those in this field. ‘We still make choices about what kind of food we eat, based on our cultural and religious backgrounds,’ says Groenewald, a doctoral candidate at the University of Cape Town’s Department of Archaeology. ‘Some isotope systems are also more closely tied to our environment than others. Hydrogen and oxygen are an example, which are related to the water we drink.’ By combining multiple isotope systems, archaeologists can narrow down the evidence for where someone may have come from or travelled to. ‘The stable isotope values are also not used in isolation, but they can help to support other lines of evidence that the investigator is following.’ https://www.biogrip.ac.za/isotope-science-series/a-tale-of-a-climate-tipping-point-and-climate-refugees-from-southern-african-pre-history monthly 0.5 2024-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1731498025797-T34U7FIY231NMOFLD95R/1.jpg Isotope science series - A tale of a climate tipping point, and climate refugees, from southern African pre-history  Archaeologist Dr Justin Pargeter, excavation lead in the 2024 dig at Boomplaas cave near the renowned Cango Caves, explains how the discovery of ostrich eggshell beads confirms an unfolding narrative of how hunter-gatherers assembling here about 17,000 years ago were climate refugees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1731498027241-8QLJ433AWSW8HLQGJYRT/2.jpg Isotope science series - A tale of a climate tipping point, and climate refugees, from southern African pre-history  Nkosi Mgcaleka is one of the best in the business and has been instrumental in multiple Boomplaas digs.

The city’s response might be to discourage the use of these kinds of fuels. Nitrogen particles collected in air samples at the Cape Point weather station can help city managers better understand the sources of ambient air pollution at a local scale, and make smarter evidence-based policy decisions to address the problem. The air samplers at the Cape Point station work 24-7, even on the days when the wind isn’t roaring up from the Antarctic, bringing planetary-scale atmospheric information with it. But it’s also possible to zoom in on local-level pollution dynamics. Analysing the isotopes in the nitrogen particles sampled on these quieter days can show how much the local-level pollution hanging over the city is from the tailpipes of cars, or from people burning coal in their homes to stay warm, explains Dr Katye Altieri. City managers need to make many budgeting and infrastructure planning decisions, which inform how they prioritise different service delivery and development needs. How much should they prioritise electrification of informal settlements over the rollout of public transport to ease up road congestion and therefore exhaust pollution? ‘Understanding the different nitrogen sources around Cape Town, we can feed information back to the city if there’s a strong vehicle pollution signal, or a home fuel burning signal,’ says Altieri. This kind of information can help overcome the sense that a city can’t do much to address perceived sources of pollution. https://www.biogrip.ac.za/isotope-science-series/stopping-wildlife-trafficking-in-its-tracks monthly 0.5 2024-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1730283367840-KGVUDIV08XJBQ9J3KWOW/1+Forensics_13.jpg Isotope science series - Stopping wildlife trafficking in its tracks Learning to think like Sherlock Holmes: participants in a training programme at the Wildlife Forensic Academy outside of Cape Town study a staged crime scene to learn how to gather evidence and find clues that will explain how an animal was killed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1730283361219-3AELUQD215O97Q4PDIPO/2+Forensics_31.jpg Isotope science series - Stopping wildlife trafficking in its tracks Forensic science is widely used to investigate wildlife-related crimes, and typically uses biological, physical, and digital evidence to build a case in illicit activities such as poaching, trafficking, and the killing or illegal trading of protected species. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1730283378673-9KJJ3DL87LJJ5WFL68X3/3+Forensics_54.jpg Isotope science series - Stopping wildlife trafficking in its tracks The preserved rhino at the staged crime scenes at the Wildlife Forensic Academy had a bullet wound to the chest, and both horns missing.

This can help identify if a specimen is a protected species and subject to poaching or trading laws. Forensic methods for addressing wildlife trafficking also extend to linking suspects with crimes, such as fingerprint matches, or ballistics traces linking a specific firearm with a crime. If a suspect has left their own DNA on a firearm or a suspected trafficked species, this can also be a way to link that person with the crime. DNA as a forensic tool to trace the possible location and source population of a poached specimen isn’t a likely or readily available method in this context, though. ‘You need to have maps of a species’ existing DNA in populations and be able to match the specimen sample to these maps,’ explains BIOGRIP Director, Dr Roger Diamond. ‘You are looking for a tiny fraction of the total genome, the part that distinguishes populations of the same species.’ Isotope analysis is easier to use than DNA, in this context. Isotopic analysis of elements found in an animal’s tissue can add another layer of forensic evidence, although the results are not always as easy to interpret as fingerprinting or cause of death. https://www.biogrip.ac.za/isotope-science-series/a-night-around-the-braai-from-3000-years-ago monthly 0.5 2024-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1730266920910-J9H31UEE83PYYIXRREOF/1+T82A0870.jpg Isotope science series - A night around the braai, from 3,000 years ago Prof Judith Sealy's pioneering work has advanced the field by drawing the study of environmental sciences and stable isotope analysis into traditional archaeological methods.

Some of these could be lethal. Maybe it was in defending a territorial boundary, or the food resources held within those boundaries. There could be many reasons why different clans might not be able to work out a dispute with diplomacy, and might come to blows. Professor Judith Sealy and colleagues have revealed that pre-colonial people were not peaceniks. Like most human communities, they sometimes resorted to violence. In many of the recovered skeletons, it was clear that the overwhelming victims of this violence were women and children. https://www.biogrip.ac.za/isotope-science-series/isotope-code-breaker-shows-how-groundwater-travels-through-time-and-space monthly 0.5 2024-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1729677598419-XWRI2VPB75YW3029G3YP/1+Roger.jpg Isotope science series - Isotope code-breaker shows how groundwater travels through time and space You first need to understand rocks if you want to understand groundwater, says hydrogeologist Dr Roger Diamond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1729677596680-BA9S51TREB8WO1TPYJ0Y/2+Roger.jpg Isotope science series - Isotope code-breaker shows how groundwater travels through time and space Dr Roger Diamond first trained in geology before specialising in the study of the relationship between water and rocks.

The water then travels underneath the Little Karoo basin and eventually surfaces here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6687c69d82f90b2f98674fd3/1df66548-c0b1-4563-a261-ddb53ed67880/roger+diamond.jpg Isotope science series - Isotope code-breaker shows how groundwater travels through time and space - Studying the isotopic makeup of river water The banks of the Olifants River took a bruising during heavy flooding in July 2024. Most of the damage caused during a flood event like this happens when water flow peaks, something which often lasts only a few minutes. Being able to anticipate precisely when a flow peak will sweep through a point on a river can help put effective early warning systems in place. ‘From a water management and agriculture perspective, it’s important to know how much water flows in a river system,’ Diamond says. ‘But in a storm event, you need to be able to anticipate the timing of peak flow, because that’s when infrastructure gets damaged.’ Traditionally, river flow is monitored with on-site instrumentation, like the kind that would have been in place in this derelict station at the river crossing at the Calitzdorp hot springs. This kind of information can help build up a historic record that allows the modelling of future flood events. Rain gauge data also helps understand the nature of a particular river system, and how it responds to storm events. More recent advances in satellite imagery adds another layer of data to understanding a river’s flow patterns. Isotope analysis can add further detail and assist with anticipating peak events. By studying the isotopic makeup of the river water, it’s possible to map precisely where the water comes from during a storm event — from high up in the mountains, or nearby on the plains — and calculate what the lag time is between a storm releasing its water, and when that will arrive at any point on the river’s system. https://www.biogrip.ac.za/isotope-science-series/tag/atmosphere
