Human paleodiets on the patagonian coast during the late Holocene: New stable isotope and radiocarbon data for the south-central coast

| Sumario: | The goal of this paper is to present stable isotope data from collagen (δ13C and δ15N) and radiocarbon dates of a sample of human skeletal remains from the southern coast of Chubut Province. The data are discussed in relation to paleodiets and in the context of previous research and available data for the rest of the Atlantic Coast of Patagonia. The initial expectation was to find diets characterized by mixed consumption of resources (i.e., marine and terrestrial). However, only one case, dated 2531 ± 45 years BP, suggests the consumption of marine resources. The remaining samples show consumption of predominantly terrestrial resources with similar values to those of inland Patagonia. This paper contributes to the discussion of regional human paleodiets among coastal late Holocene hunter-gatherers. Copyright © Facultad de Ciencias Sociales - UNCPBA - Argentina. |
