The team figured out where in Alaska it likely was at any given point of its 28-year life.To do so, the researchers closely studied
18、a 1. 8-meter-long mammoth tusk (象牙) dating back around 17,100 years. Mammoth tusks grow by adding layers of tissue almost daily, forming rings like a tree that can reveal detailed information.The main thing the researchers analyzed was strontium isotopes (锶同位素), which can act almost like an ancient
19、GPS. Different areas have different isotopic features, which start in minerals deep underground and make their way to the top of the land, into plants and water. Finally, they can be seen on the animals that consume those plants and water.Previous studies had produced an isotopic map of Alaska by an
20、alyzing isotopes in the teeth of hundreds of small animals, which dont travel far in their lifetimes and so represent a local area.
