Investigation of the Human Diet in Pella (North Greece) from the Prehistoric to the Classical Period Using Stable Isotopes and Radiocarbon Dating

Abstract

The skeletal material from the Classical and Prehistoric period cemeteries of ancient Pella in Central Macedonia, Greece was examined anthropologically and analyzed for the stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen. Additionally, the Prehistoric cemetery burials were radiocarbon dated. The dates define the use of the prehistoric cemetery in the Early Bronze Age period (6600-6050 BC0.
