I would like to thank the editors of this volume, Elizabeth A. DiGangi and Megan K. Moore,
for the invitation to contribute this chapter. I would also like to thank Teresa Rosales, Victor
Vasquez, Jonathan Kent, and Cathy Gaither for their collaboration on the Santa Rita B project.
Stanley Ambrose's mentorship was invaluable while I was first learning about stable isotopes
and Justin Glessner's cheerful explanations about the ICPMS were invaluable as well. The
William M. Bass Endowment funded the analytical costs related to the case study presented
here.
