Stable carbon isotope analysis as a direct means of inferring crop water status and water management practices

Abstract: Stable carbon isotope analysis of plant remains is a promising tool for researchers studying palaeoclimate and past agricultural systems. The potential of the technique is clear: it offers a direct measure of the water conditions in which plants grew. In this paper, we assess how reliably stable carbon isotope discrimination can be used to infer water conditions, through the analysis of present-day crop plants grown at multiple locations across the Mediterranean and south-west Asia. The key findings are that: … Show more

The sites mostly date to the earlier Neolithic in their respective regions (Table 1) and were selected on the basis of richness in well-preserved charred crop material (Fig.…”
