This tool computes expectation ranges for local bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr isotopic ratios for large archaeological mammals by use of modern environmental reference data (soil, groundwater, vegetation). The reference below includes all necessary information on the model parameters. Note that the tool has been developed for a specific alpine and pre-alpine region in Central Europe. Application to other regions will necessitate adaptation of the parameters to be entered into the model. The authors of this tool are not responsible for the results obtained in any application by other researchers.
