Abstract

The reconstruction of seasonal variations in the paleoenvironement is possible thanks to the bivalve shells that are commonly found back in archeological sites and that are sensitive environmental recorders [1]. To do these reconstructions we look to the chemical composition of a shell along his growth axis. When a certain element or isotope can be related to an environmental parameter it is called a proxy for that parameter.
