Carbon and nitrogen isotopic survey of northern Peruvian plants: baselines for paleodietary and paleoecological studies
The development of isotopic baselines for comparison with paleodietary data is crucial, but
often overlooked. We review the factors affecting the carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) …

The Signs of Maize? A Reconsideration of What δ13C Values Say about Palaeodiet in the Andean Region
L Cadwallader, DG Beresford-Jones, OQ Whaley… - Human Ecology, 2012 - Springer
Palaeodietary isotope studies have long assumed C 4 signals in South American
archaeological populations to be due to the consumption of maize (Zea mays), which in turn …

Population expansion and intensification from a Malthus-Boserup perspective: A multiproxy approach in Central Western Argentina
Abstract In Central Western Argentina (CWA), the incorporation of cultigens by hunter-
gatherer populations has been much discussed. This paper explores the relationship …

Diversity in foddering strategy and herd management in late Bronze Age Britain: an isotopic investigation of pigs and other fauna from two midden sites
Middens of the southern British late Bronze and Iron Age are vast accumulations of cultural
debris that can be explained as refuse dumps linked with large periodic feasting events. A …
