A simple carbon isotope model for reconstructing prehistoric human diet

Abstract: A compilation of experimental animal data shows that neither delta13C(collagen) nor delta13C(apatite) nor Delta13C(CO-AP) indicate diagnostic reconstructions of diet, diet energy and diet protein. In contrast, plots of delta13C(collagen) against delta13C(apatite) provide a model of three regression lines (C3, C4, and marine diet protein) where position on each line indicates the energy source (C3, C4, or mixed). Neither body size nor trophic position appears to affect these relationships. Modern free-ranging, … Show more

“…These values fall within the range that may be predicted for a diet dominated by C 3 terrestrial resources (between approximately −17.0 and −14.0 ‰; Froehle et al, 2012; Kellner & Schoeninger, 2007). The majority of human individuals sampled at both Penywyrlod and Ty Isaf have strontium concentrations comparable to those exhibited by the early Neolithic burial population at Hazleton North, where concentrations ranged between 22 and 144 ppm (mean 54 ± 25 ppm, n  = 35, Neil et al, 2016a).…”

“…2; Jim, Ambrose, & Evershed, 2004). Individuals who obtain the majority of their diet from C 3 terrestrial sources may be predicted to have δ 13 C carbonate values between approximately −17.0 to −14.0 ‰ (Froehle, Kellner, & Schoeninger, 2012; Kellner & Schoeninger, 2007). …”

“…Additionally, we use isotopic modeling to provide more detailed insight into the composition of ancient diets. The data for Dalheim are interrogated using a bivariate (simple) (Kellner and Schoeninger 2007;Froehle et al 2010) and a multivariate carbon-isotope model (Froehle et al 2012) and compared with previously published isotopic data for medieval diet. This study is the first to our knowledge that explores medieval European diet using the multivariate-isotope approach.…”

“…In humans, consumed protein is differentially routed to collagen (Ambrose and Norr, 1993;Kellner and Schoeninger, 2007;Tieszen and Fagre, 1993). A recent study estimates that 72% of the carbon in collagen comes from dietary protein, with the remaining 28% derived from carbohydrates and lipids (Fernandes et al, 2012).…”
