Preliminary report of palaeodietary analysis of human and faunal remains from Bolshekaragansky kurgan 25

Abstract

This report reflects the isotopic results of the analysis of human and faunal remains from the site of Bolshekaragansky Kurgan 25. The data from Bolshekaragansky are part of a larger palaeodietary project, examining the diets of Bronze Age and Iron Age communities throughout the Eurasian steppe, and will be included in a synthesis of a larger sample set in future. As is often true of archaeological hypotheses, initial interpretations and conclusions are to be considered as tentative and subject to alteration in light of further research and sample analysis.
