Stable isotope analysis gives an independent measure of fractionation such that if, for instance, a sample is 1.5% heavier in 13C than modern standard carbon through the effects of fractionation, then it will be 3% heavier in 14C than it would have been had fractionation not taken place.
Studies examining the effects of chemical preservation on stable isotopes have found inconsistent results. For example, Hobson et al. (1997 , and 1997. Preservation of blood and tissue samples for stable-carbon and stable-nitrogen isotope analysis.
