stable isotopic analysis of human diet in the marianas archipelago western pacific
American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1997Co-Authors: Stanley H Ambrose, Ia M Utle, Douglas Hanso, Rosalind L Hunteranderso, Harold W KruegeAbstract:Proportions of marine vs. terrestrial resources in Prehistoric human diets in the southern Mariana Islands (Guam, Rota, Saipan), Micronesia, have been estimated by analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen and of carbon in apatite. The isotopic composition of marine and terrestrial food resources from the Marianas have also been determined. Experimental evidence shows that collagen carbon isotopes mainly reflect those of dietary protein sources and thus overestimate the contribution of marine animal foods. Marine protein consumption apparently ranges from ∼20% to ∼50% on these islands. Experiments also demonstrate the carbon isotope ratio of bone apatite carbonate accurately reflects that of the whole diet. Carbonate carbon isotope data suggest some individuals consumed significant amounts of 13C-enriched (C4) plants or seaweeds. Sugar cane is an indigenous C4 crop and seaweeds are eaten throughout the Pacific, but they have not been considered by archaeologists to have been Prehistoric dietary staples. Apatite carbon isotope analysis has apparently identified previously unrecognized Prehistoric dietary adaptations in the Mariana Islands, but this must be confirmed by archaeobotanical evidence.

productivity in Prehistoric agriculture physiological models for the quantification of cereal yields as an alternative to traditional approaches
Journal of Archaeological Science, 2003Co-Authors: Jose Luis Araus, Gustavo A Slafer, Ramon Buxo, I RomagosaAbstract:Agriculture has been the basis of social development. For this reason, a proper estimation of yield in Prehistoric agriculture is of importance in many disciplines. After highlighting the limitations of the traditional approaches used for estimating yields in the Prehistoric agriculture of the Old World, based mainly on archaeological, anthropological and ethnographic assumptions and evidences, this study discusses models with a physiological and agronomic bias. These models rely on a thorough knowledge of the biological factors that determine the crop yield, and involve the analysis of archaeological plant remains produced by Prehistoric agricultural systems. The evaluation of ancient cereal yields based on the analysis of carbon isotope discrimination from fossil grains is proposed as a promising approach.

bronze age meat industry ancient mitochondrial dna analyses of pig bones from the Prehistoric salt mines of hallstatt austria
BMC Research Notes, 2018Co-Authors: Sabine E Hammer, Anton Kern, Hans Reschreiter, Barbara Tautscher, Erich Pucher, Kerstin Kowarik, Elisabeth HaringAbstract:In the Bronze Age Hallstatt metropolis (‘Salzkammergut’ region, Upper Austria), salt richness enabled the preservation of pork meat to sustain people’s livelihood suggesting an organized meat production industry on a yearly basis of hundreds of pigs. To pattern the geographic and temporal framework of the early management of pig populations in the surrounding areas of Hallstatt, we want to gain insights into the phylogeographic network based on DNA sequence variation among modern pigs, wild boars and Prehistoric (likely) domestic pigs. In this pilot study, we successfully adapted ancient DNA extraction and sequencing approaches for the analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in ten Prehistoric porcine teeth specimens. Minimum-spanning network analyses revealed unique mitochondrial control region DNA haplotypes ranging within the variation of modern domestic pig and wild boar lineages and even shared haplotypes between Prehistoric and modern domestic pigs and wild boars were observed.
