Summary :

The aim of the ANACARB project is to maintain and improve the performance of high-resolution isotope analysis of carbonate archives used in human and heritage sciences (archaeology, paleontology, climatology, paleoenvironment, paleobiology) in the Île-de-France region. The project is based on the purchase of a combined robot-preparator and isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) to analyze the isotopic composition of carbon and oxygen (∂13C et ∂18O) from small quantities of material sampled (< 20 μg) in carbonate archives. The project partners come from 9 research laboratories based in the Ile-de-France region. They are all involved in the study of objects that are either precious or of small size, or that enable biological and/or environmental information to be reconstructed on a fine temporal scale. To achieve these aims, it may first be necessary to sequentially sample small quantities of material. Furthermore, these studies generally require large quantities of assays. The new coupling will make it possible to:
  1. meet the growing need for analysis in a variety of scientific fields;
  2. significantly broaden the range of archives that can be analyzed;
  3. increase the temporal resolution of applications.
