Régime et Société d'après l'analyse des Isotopes Stables : l'exemple de la population de Can Reinés (Mallorca, Espagne, 600 ap. J.C.)

TL;DRAbstract

This study presents the results of the analysis of carbon, nitrogen and
\nsulphur isotopes of bone collagen extracted from 39 human remains and 20 animal
\nremains, found at an archaeological site on the island of Majorca, Spain. The
\npopulation studied is from “Can Reinés” (Late Roman necropolis, 600 A.D.). This
\nstudy analyses the diet during this period, specifically to consider the importance of
\nmarine protein in the diet of this people who lived near the sea. We are also interested
\nin examining whether diet is affected by differences in the individual’s sex in this
\npopulation. The results indicate a diet based primarily on animal protein and terrestrial
\nC3 plant foods. Men have a different diet than women. We also present a preliminary
\nanalysis of sulphur isotopes to highlight the mobility of this group.
