The main goal of this work is to celebrate more than three decades of the application of stable isotope analyses in Argentinian archaeology. We present a synthesis of the concepts, theoretical and methodological aspects and applications covering three main topics: paleodiet, paleomobility and palaeoenvironment. At the same time, we provide examples of isotopic approaches to study problems such as paleodiets in hunter-gatherer and agricultural societies, human mobility, herding strategies, food preparation and cooking, and  paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic studies. This compendium will be a useful reference for students and researchers inclined to enter this field of research. However, the cases mentioned here do not represent the state of art nor do they cover all the Argentinian regions where these studies were carried out, but rather show the thematic diversity and the way in which stable isotope analyses allow to broaden our knowledge about societies in the past.
