متن کاملRefining Dietary Estimates at Machu Picchu Using Combined Dental Macro/Microwear and Isotopic Analyses
Reconstructing diet in Andean populations is complicated by ecological complexity and by large-scale population movements and trade networks during the period of imperial rule. It is therefore more difficult to reconstruct dietary patterns within these contexts. Previous multiisotopic analysis of the skeletal population from the Inca site of Machu Picchu indicates marked variation in dietary co...
