Abstract This research aims at delineating the dietary practices in Central Italy during Bronze Age. The study of food choices is a mean for investigating palaeoenvironmental agricultural and economic activities social relationships, which have been little explored until now from this specific perspective. Recent researches showed that Middle Age crucial period changes Italy. Following these first observations, we studied three sites Tuscany Latium: Grotta dello Scoglietto, Misa Felcetone....
The archaeological Bronze Age record in Europe reveals unprecedented changes subsistence strategies due to innovative farming techniques and new crop cultivation. Increasing cultural exchanges affected the economic system. inhabitants of Switzerland played a pivotal role this European context through relationships with Mediterranean, High Middle Danube regions Alps thanks area’s central position. This research aims reconstruct, for first time Switzerland, human socio-economic systems study...
Experimental studies demonstrated that charring affects stable isotope values of plant remains. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the impact reliably interpret δ13C and δ15N in archaeobotanical remains before using this approach reconstruct past water management, paleoclimatic changes, infer paleodietary patterns. Research so far has focused mostly on C3 plants while effect C4 less understood. This study explored effects δ13C, δ15N, %C, %N, C:N grains two species, Sorghum bicolor (L.)...
This study investigates changes in dietary practices and subsistence strategies Bronze Age Italy integrating isotopic analyses with archaeobotanical archaeozoological data. By investigating food habits, we contribute to reconstructing human lifestyles highlighting possible links the economic/social organization when rise of stratified societies new economic activities affected practices. Stable isotopes humans animals were performed on 6 Italian sites dating from 2300 900 cal. BC, followed...
Abstract We report the discovery and analysis of new Mesolithic human remains—dated to ca. 10,200–9000 cal. BP—from Arma di Nasino in Liguria, northwestern Italy, an area rich Upper Paleolithic Neolithic attestations, but for which little information on Early Holocene occupation was available. The multi-proxy isotopic profile two individuals reveals that—despite proximity site Mediterranean seashore use shellfish as decorative elements burials—the ecology these foragers based exploitation...
C 4 crops such as sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor ) and finger millet Eleusine coracana have played a significant role in the economic livelihood arid semi-arid zones of tropical sub-tropical Africa since prehistoric times. However, to date, our knowledge their past management practices is limited. Stable isotope analysis archaeobotanical remains has been recognized valuable tool for reconstructing agricultural practices, e.g. water management, fertilization. Nonetheless, limited understanding...
Abstract The Upper Seine Valley sees during the Bronze Age an increase in settlements and cemeteries characterized by a variety of architectures funerary practices. This variability originates from coalescence two cultural traditions, Atlantic culture northwest Continental east, which find its roots Rhine area. In this context, our research aims to understand identity these communities reconstructing subsistence economy palaeodietary patterns trace human mobility, influenced lifestyle...
