Of fish, pigs and cesspits : a comparative study of stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses on animal bone and soil samples from five medieval sites in Belguim
… Recently, researchers have started to apply stable isotope techniques to diet reconstruction. Most studies have focused on the analysis of human bone collagen. In this research, human skeletal remains were not available, so ¹³C/¹²C and ¹⁵N/¹⁴N analyses were made on animal bones and soil …

Childhood diet and mobility at medieval (1240s AD) Solt-Tetelhegy, Hungary as reconstructed from stable carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen isotope analysis
Between 2005 and 2009, archaeologists excavated more than 100 skeletons from the medieval (1240s AD) Hungarian site of Solt-Tételhegy. Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses were conducted on dental enamel and dentin from 24 individuals to examine their childhood diet. Although previous stable …

Effects of native forest and pastoral land use on the population dynamics and trophic role of the New Zealand freshwater crayfish Paranephrops planifrons (Parastacidae)
Deforestation and conversion to pasture of over 50% of land area has affected the water quality, physical habitat, and fish and benthic invertebrate communities of New Zealand streams, but the impact of land use change on crayfish populations is unknown. The population dynamics, growth, and diet of …

Bioarchaeological assessment of diet and changes in femoral and humeral stable isotopic values among subadults at Medieval Alytus, Lithuania.
… can reveal frailty associated with biological and social age, as well as highlight individuals who vary from typical patterns. Although general dietary characteristics and infant feeding practices were previously unknown for subadults excavated from the cemetery at Alytus, Lithuania (14th-18th …
