Hello
I am undertaking a project involving carbon isotope analysis of
archaeological bowhead whale baleen. I would like to expand my data set if
anyone has access to baleen from reasonably good chronological context. The
amount of baleen needed for a sample is very small (about 1/2 gram) and can
be obtained by scraping a small section of the baleen or even artifacts
made from baleen. Results from this project will include a study comparing
primary productivity within the Arctic to modern levels as well as
comparing bowhead migration patterns.
