چکیده
The effects of the 4.2 kya climatic event on northern Mesopotamia have been subject significant scholarly debate, with notion a megadrought that forced local populations to migrate attracting particular attention. Here, authors analyse stable carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen 15 N) isotopes in human tooth bone samples assess trends subsistence practice at three sites Syria before, during after presumed event. Despite proximity sites, isotopic differences between them are more than diachronic change. Combined other archaeological evidence, these results indicate continuity patterns, no indication disruption associated
