abstract = "Substantial environmental and geologic variability in the Andes of South America make this region well-suited for isotopic paleomobility studies ranging from macro-scale regional-level isoscapes to micro-scale individual-level reconstructions of mobility over one individual{\textquoteright}s lifetime. We provide an overview of isotopic investigations of mobility and migration in the Andean past, from the regional to site-level and then to the level of the individual. We also include a case study that combines multiple scales of analysis at archaeological sites in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. We focus on both regional and individual patterns of movement at archaeological sites in the San Pedro de Atacama oases as well as the neighboring Loa River Valley. In addition to paleomobility through 87Sr/86Sr values, we use mass-dependent variation in strontium isotopes, reported as δ88/86Sr, to better understand the strontium sources in the diet. Combining radiogenic and stable strontium isotope values at these sites shows dietary variability in strontium sources consumed, and allows a more nuanced discussion of paleomobility in the Andes.",

We are also very thankful for the assistance of Emily Schach and Hope Williams in the Archaeological Chemistry Laboratory, as well as to the faculty and staff of the Museo R.P. Gustavo LePaige and METAL (formerly the W.M. Keck Foundation Laboratory for Environmental Biogeochemistry at Arizona State University). More generally, the first author feels very fortunate to have the privilege of working with, and learning from, a large number of trainees at Arizona State University. The following current and former students and postdoctoral scholars have been particularly helpful in asking interesting questions and pushing isotopic analysis of archaeological materials in new and exciting directions: Aleksa Alaica, Elise Alonzi, Allisen Dahlstedt, Niamh Daly, Marta D{\'i}az-Zorita Bonilla, Julia Giblin, Alexandra Greenwald, Sarah Hall, Jamie Hodgkins, Hannah Lau, Sara Marsteller, Marcos de la Rosa-Martinez, Maureen Marshall, Sofia Pacheco-For{\'e}s, Gina Palefsky, Eleanna Prevedorou, Jessica Rothwell, Chris Schwartz, Beth Scaffidi, Julianne Stamer, Cristina Tica, and Hope Williams. And finally, the first author is particularly grateful to Doug Price, without whom none of this would be possible.
