Tracing the origins and ages of artefacts, objects, and people through isotopes
At IsoOrigins, we bridge the gap between geochemistry and archaeology, offering expert interpretation and consulting for stable and radioactive isotope analysis. We help Archaeologists and heritage professionals trace the geographic origins of artifacts, objects, and people by analyzing your isotope results.
When you receive isotope data, you typically get raw numbers without any interpretation - we provide the expert analysis, context setting, and visualization needed to transform that data into meaningful archaeological insights.
Our mission is to make isotope-based analysis accessible, actionable, and scientifically rigorous, bringing the past into sharper focus.
What we offer
We specialize in designing sampling strategies and interpreting existing isotope data to reveal provenance and migration patterns. Our expertise helps researchers make sense of stable isotope results, providing clear, data-driven insights for research and preservation efforts.
While laboratory isotope testing is conducted externally by a lab of your choice, we ensure that your data is effectively analyzed and applied to answer key archaeological questions - whether investigating trade networks, human mobility, or the origins of raw materials.
Who we are
Led by a natural scientist with a PhD in isotope geochemistry and paleoclimatology, and bolstered by a team of analysts, IsoOrigins helps transform raw isotope data into meaningful insights with detailed interpretation, accompanied by visually relevant and compelling figures.
