Much of the research on the bioarchaeology of infant feeding is interpreted solely as the
result of the availability of suitable weaning foods and “weaning stress,” which largely …

Objectives Breastfeeding and childhood diet have significant impact on morbidity and
mortality within a population, and in the ancient Near East, it is possible to compare …

A constant and intense debate in South American archaeology stands on the origin and
patterns of food production of ancient populations and the correlation of both aspects with …

Studying infant diet and feeding practices through stable isotope analysis provides direct
insight into the life and health of vulnerable population groups in the past. Although the …

The carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope ratios of human bone collagen have been
used extensively over the last 40 years to investigate the diet of past populations. It has …
