Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

We gathered biological materials from animals around Humboldt County and used their stable oxygen and carbon isotopic signatures to create an isotope map of the Humboldt area. Samples of bone, teeth and shell were collected in various areas of this county. Samples were processed at the HSU Biological Anthropology Research Center (BARC) and then sent to a stable isotope facility to be analyzed. This information will be distributed in a Geographic Information System (GIS) map. This project is part of an ongoing project at BARC that aims to create a map to help identify the region of origin of animal and human remains, and address ecological questions.
