Abstract

This paper examines newly acquired and previously published carbon and nitrogen isotope values in bone collagen from 58 dogs (Canis familiaris) dated to the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition. Using the Bayesian mixing model FRUITS, we estimate the marine or freshwater dietary fractions. These estimates, together with a radiocarbon-based Bayesian statistical model, have allowed us to calculate the freshwater reservoir age for selected Danish regions. The Ertebølle and Funnel Beaker cultures display different feeding traditions, and stable isotope values of dogs cannot be used as a direct proxy for reconstructing human diet, as the foodstuffs appear to have been subject to some deliberate differentiation.

这是狗的早餐！基于放射性碳和同位素的狗研究，探索丹麦中石器时代-新石器时代过渡期间的饮食变化

本文研究了新近获得的和以前发表的 58 只狗（Canis familiaris）骨胶原蛋白中的碳和氮同位素值，这些骨胶原蛋白的年代可追溯到中石器时代-新石器时代过渡时期。利用贝叶斯混合模型 FRUITS，我们估算了海洋或淡水膳食部分。这些估算结果与基于放射性碳的贝叶斯统计模型相结合，使我们能够计算出部分丹麦地区的淡水储层年龄。埃特博勒文化和漏斗形烧杯文化显示出不同的饮食传统，狗的稳定同位素值不能直接用作重建人类饮食的替代物，因为食物似乎经过了一些有意的区分。

期刊介绍： Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
