Summary The first objective of this research project was to develop and refine the non-destructive approach of laser ablation for museum-archived small rodent teeth isotopic analysis. The second objective was to apply this technique to rodent teeth collected from the sediment levels of three archaeological sites in Northern Morocco dated to Middle Stone Age periods, and to infer past climate conditions from the measured rodent teeth isotopes with the overall goal of resolving the impact of environmental change on Middle Stone Age humans in North Africa.
