Radiocarbon and Diet Conference
Tuesday, 14. September – Friday, 17. September

As in previous meetings the major focus of this workshop will be on aspects of past dietary adaptations of prehistoric human groups and the application of radiocarbon, coupled with stable isotopes that gives insight into past diet. There is growing awareness of the link between radiocarbon variation and dietary choice and the influence on the construction of reliable chronologies. We welcome presentations which apply diet-related stable isotopes to the archaeological past, including carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and sulphur, and link this with radiocarbon dating to understand more fully the chronology of sites and regions. We are planning an interesting and diverse meeting, with a range of sessions planned, covering marine, terrestrial and aquatic lifeways from different geographical locations and periods. We also invite comment and suggestions on these preliminary session titles (see below).
