Analytical chemistry in anthropology

Analytical chemistry, as a study of the chemical composition of natural and artificial materials, is not restricted to any particular type of chemical compound or reaction. As such, it takes advantage of the vast array of instrumental methods of chemical analysis (organic, inorganic, as well as isotope analysis) to provide additional information to enrich anthropological knowledge on a variety of subjects – for example, nutritional and other habits, environmental exposure to various chemical compounds or elements, analysis of disease and skeletal trauma on archeological skeletal remains, population studies, proteomic and metabolomics analyses etc. This panel is aiming at promoting analytical chemistry as an integral part of an interdisciplinary anthropological approach.
