Isótopos estáveis em reconstrução paleodietética na costa do Brasil: recomendações para uma agenda de pesquisa arqueológica
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims a) to reflect on the potential application of stable isotopes for the archaeological study of diet, and b) to make some recommendations to address archaeological problems with isotopic methods in pre-colonial and historical populations on the Brazilian coast. To reach these objectives, we introduce the reader to the general principles of stable isotopes and their applications, discussing the some of the most significant advances on the subject in the region, and developing some ideas on the diversity of topics that can be addressed in future research with stable isotopes.
