Presents a new, cost effective and readily available geochemical provenance technique that couples chemistry-based microwave digestion of archaeological ceramics with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Demonstrates the technique by analysing samples of prehistoric ceramics from the Virgin Branch Anasazi region of southern Nevada.

Diagnostic criteria are described for the taxonomic discrimination of adult mandibles of sheep (Ovis aries) and goat (Capra hircus). These criteria, based on morphological distinctions in the mandible, permanent premolars and molars, have been successfully tested on a large and diverse body of modern reference material. In conjunction with published work on deciduous premolars, the new criteria enable complete and fragmentary mandibles of young, adult and elderly individuals to be identified to sheep or goat with acceptable levels of accuracy.
