Bone collagen carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope analysis of human and faunal samples from Portonovo

As widely discussed in Lelli et alii (2012), an analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes was conducted on bone collagen of 14 skeletal remains excavated from Portonovo site. Bone fragments belong to the 3 adult individuals found inside the oven 1 (T1 and T2) and along the eastern wall of oven 5 and 11 animals (5 pigs, 4 domestic sheep, 1 goat and 1 deer).(leggi tutto)
