Book excerpt: Human and animal bones from four prehistoric and protohistoric Woodland sites in southern Ontario were analysed for a number of chemical elements using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. The trace element strontium was the principal element of interest. Quantitative data were also obtained for zirconium, yttrium and rubidium. A subset of human and animal bones was analysed for calcium, phosphorus, silicon, aluminum, iron, manganese, titanium, magnesium and potassium. Soil samples from each site were analysed for all of the aforementioned elements.
