“…If we consider the Early Bronze Age in the Mediterranean and more generally in southern Europe, the isotopic data at Arano fall within the general isotopic setting. The sites of Padru Jossu and Is Calitas (Sardinia, Italy; Lai et al, 2007), Singen (Germany; Koch and Kupke, 2012), Perachora and Makrigialos (Greece, Petroutsa et al, 2007;Triantaphyllou, 2001), Chantemerle, Machal and Le Tourteix (Auvergne, France; Goude et al, 2011;Herrscher et al, 2014) and Cova de la Pastora, Coveta del Frare, Castillejo del Bonete, Motilla de Azuer, and Balearic Islands (Spain;García Borja et al, 2013;McClure et al, 2011;Nájera Colino et al, 2010;Nájera et al, 2012;Salazar-García et al, 2013;Van Strydonck et al, 2005), all dated to the beginning of the Bronze Age, show similar carbon and nitrogen ranges, suggesting that C 3 plants were a very significant nutritional source, typical of a temperate ecosystem. However, the moderate enrichment in 13 C for some sites is due to the presence of a more arid local environment (e.g.…”

This paper explores dietary practices in Bronze Age northern Italy through the isotopic investigation of human and animal collagen from the Early Bronze Age (EBA) necropolis of Arano di Cellore (Illasi, Verona). An earlier study had recently dated to the Bronze Age the introduction of C4 crops in the Po Plain in a way that makes this region of Europe a key area to explore Bronze Age economic strategies. Our study shows that diet at Arano was based on the consumption of C3 cereal-type plants, with isotope values clustered in a narrow range: this distribution would indicate a rather homogeneous diet with only slight differences in accordance to sex of the individuals. The evidence from Arano seems to suggest that during the EBA, food consumption was strongly rooted in earlier traditions likely going back to the Neolithic, either in terms of type of crops consumed or relative contribution of plants and animal proteins to the diet. Thanks to the evidence from Arano, we are now able to firmly place the shift in crop use in the region at a transition phase between the late phases of the EBA and the beginning of the MBA. When comparing Arano's results with those from EBA Mediterranean sites similar isotopic patterns are identified. A general uniformity of dietary practices for the south of Europe could be advocated, so that the consumption of C4 plants identified in the Po Plain during the MBA might have been limited to very specific sites

Farewell to antiquarianism. A new ‘grand narrative’ for German-speaking prehistoric archaeology?

I would first like to thank the editors of Archaeological dialogues for inviting me to comment on Kerstin P. Hofmann and Philipp W. Stockhammer's paper on the present situation of archaeological theory in German-speaking prehistoric archaeology (GSA). The message the authors wish to communicate to an international audience is relatively simple and straightforward. GSA, which for a long time seemed ‘generally uninterested in theoretical debates’ (p. 1), has since about the year 2000 radically changed its outlook. This change is seen reflected in a large corpus of theoretically oriented case studies (represented in a list of some four hundred titles added to the paper), that in the eyes of the authors deserves the attention of the international scientific community. This positive development is interpreted as a result both of a growing interest in overarching research questions of cultural studies and of the public funding of large-scale cooperative research projects.
