Research project

Isotopes, dental calculus and diet. From hunter gathering to farming in Mediterranean Iberia

Project summary

This project aims to integrate different techniques and fields in the study of diet from past populations. Specifically, it targets the dietary patterns at the transition to agriculture (from Late Upper Palaeolithic to the Late Neolithic) in Mediterranean Iberia. Besides the archaeological and anthropological background studies required to develop this project, the main methods selected to obtain complementary dietary information are stable isotope analysis on bone collagen and the study of plant micro-remains from dental calculus.
