We report the first measurement of the odd-isotope fractions for barium, f_odd,Ba in two extremely metal-poor stars: a CEMP-r/s star HE 0338-3945 ([Fe/H]=-2.42±0.11) and an r-II star CS 31082-001 ([Fe/H]=-2.90±0.13). The measured f_odd,Ba values are 0.23±0.12 corresponding to 34.3±34.3% of the r-process contributions for HE 0338-3945 and 0.43±0.09 corresponding to 91.4±25.7% of the r-process contribution to Ba production for CS 31082-001. The high r-process signature of barium in CS 31082-001 (91.4±25.7%) suggests that the majority of the heavy elements in this star were synthesised via an r-process path, while the lower r-process value (34.3±34.3%) found in HE 0338-3945 indicates that the heavy elements in this star formed through a mix of s-process and r-process synthesis. These conclusions are consistent with studies based on asymptotic giant branch star model calculations to fit their abundance distributions.
