Cave Remains From 40,000 Yrs Ago Indicate Greek Diet Mostly Comprised of Animal Proteins, Say Researchers Researchers ...

This publication is intended to support the proper use of the compound specific stable isotope (CSSI) technique for identifying sources of sediment within agroecosystems. Based on the measurement of ...

Simon Fraser University, the Greek Ministry of Culture, and the University of Bologna have conducted an isotope study on the dietary patterns of Mesolithic and Neolithic humans at Franchthi Cave, ...

The yellow balls with arrows represent carbon-13 isotopes and their nuclear spins, which were employed in NMR studies of the material.

Carbon has three main isotopes. They are carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14. Carbon-12 makes up 99% of an atom, carbon-13 makes up 1% and carbon-14 - makes up 1 part per million. Carbon-14 is ...

While the number of protons defines the element (e.g., hydrogen, carbon, etc.) and the sum of the protons and neutrons gives the atomic mass, the number of neutrons defines the isotope of that element ...

Previous isotope studies of Franchthi suggested minimal ... and three Middle Neolithic individuals (6600–5800 BCE). Human carbon-13 (δ 13 C) and nitrogen-15 (δ 15 N) values indicate ...
