From results, conclusions may be drawn about diet barrow builders users. It was based on vegetable foodstuffs characterised by a varied share terrestrial animal meat, depending period. High values suggest C4-type plants diet, possibly millet.

However, there exceptions to production rules. In this article, presented pottery materials from sites Lowlands allow us conclude that temper was important for some communities....
