Some theoretical aspects of isotope paleodiet studies
Journal of Archaeological Science, 1991Abstract The introduction of stable isotope analysis (carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulphur) of bones and food residues allows anthropologists to define more precisely the actual consumption patterns of extinct populations. However, this requires that: (a) we know the ranges of compositions of possible foods; (b) that there be isotopic variability in ...

Seasonality and paleodiet in the Chiribaya polity of southern Peru
Journal of Archaeological Science, 2007Abstract In the Andes, the complex Chiribaya polity, or senorio , was composed of economically specialized groups. Previous carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of archaeological human bone from Chiribaya-affiliated sites have effectively demonstrated socioeconomic specialization and variability in paleodiet among different Chiribaya-affiliated ...

Lambayeque Paleodiet and Nutrition: A Diachronic Analysis
2020This chapter places the paleopathological and isotopic results described in the previous chapter in a larger interpretive context. Here, we place our isotopic results in further comparative context, using published reference values for an array of edible animal and plant resources from both terrestrial and aquatic contexts, and employ multivariable ...

The evolution and paleodiet of the Eurygnathohippus feibeli lineage in Africa
Paläontologische Zeitschrift, 2013Eurygnathohippus feibeli is a small African species of hipparionine horse that is known from Ethiopia, Kenya, and Libya from the latest Miocene to the early Pliocene. It is characterized by generally primitive and moderately hypsodont maxillary cheek teeth but advanced, elongate distal limb elements.

Reconstructing the Paleodiet of the Caddo through Stable Isotopes
American Antiquity, 2013AbstractMaize agriculture is often regarded as a key component in understanding and evaluating the Mississippian culture and related cultures. It is becoming clear that the spread and intensification of maize agriculture relates to the dissemination of Mississippian cultural traits in a variety of ways, rather than through a set trajectory.

Human Evolution, 2005
Man's biological evolution, state of health and lifestyle are closely associated with dietary changes. The methods for acquiring useful information on the diet of our ancestors are an important aspect of anthropological research; hence it was retained interesting to apply the oligoelement and isotopic techniques in parallel on the same sample, in order

Paleodiet in Late Preceramic Peru: Preliminary Isotopic Data From Bandurria
Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology, 2011ABSTRACT The Preceramic occupation of Peru has historically received little attention from scholars. Recent excavations on the North-Central Coast of Peru have identified several large sites with monumental architecture dating to the Late Preceramic Period (3000–1800 BC). Monumental architecture and dense occupation at these sites indicates a degree of

Human Paleodiet at Grand Bay, Carriacou, Lesser Antilles
The Journal of Island and Coastal Archaeology, 2013ABSTRACT The island of Carriacou in the southern Grenadines, Lesser Antilles, has been the focus of interdisciplinary archaeological research since 2003, focused on ceramic-associated assemblages dating between c. AD 400 and 1300. Amerindians here exploited marine foods, but patterned subsistence has not been inferred directly from recovered human ...

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2015
ABSTRACTBioarchaeological approaches are well suited for examining past responses to political and environmental changes. In the Andes, we hypothesized that political and environmental changes around AD 1100 resulted in behavioral changes, visible as shifts in paleodiet and paleomobility, among individuals in the San Pedro de Atacama oases and Loa ...
