Dating Women and Becoming Farmers: New Palaeodietary and AMS Dating Evidence from the Breton Mesolithic Cemeteries of Téviec and Hoëdic (2001)
Journal Article
Schulting, R., & Richards, M. (2001). Dating Women and Becoming Farmers: New Palaeodietary and AMS Dating Evidence from the Breton Mesolithic Cemeteries of Téviec and Hoëdic. Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 20(3), 314-344. https://doi.org/10.1006/jaar.2000.0370

This paper presents and discusses the results of a palaeodietary and AMS dating study of burials from the Mesolithic sites of Téviec and Hoëdic, Brittany, France. In common with other Mesolithic coastal populations in Europe, isotopic analysis demons...

Neolithic Diet at the Brochtorff Circle, Malta (2001)
Journal Article
Richards, M., Hedges, R., Walton, I., Stoddart, S., & Malone, C. (2001). Neolithic Diet at the Brochtorff Circle, Malta. European Journal of Archaeology, 4(2), 253-262. https://doi.org/10.1177/146195710100400206

From Neolithic Malta, there is evidence of increasing population size accompanied by increasingly elaborate material culture, including the famous megalithic architecture. Stoddart et al. (1993) argued that social tensions and controls increased as f... Read More about Neolithic Diet at the Brochtorff Circle, Malta.

Stable isotope evidence for increasing dietary breadth in the European mid-Upper Paleolithic (2001)
Journal Article
Richards, M., Pettitt, P., Stiner, M., & Trinkaus, E. (2001). Stable isotope evidence for increasing dietary breadth in the European mid-Upper Paleolithic. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 98(11), 6528-6532. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.111155298

New carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values for human remains dating to the mid-Upper Paleolithic in Europe indicate significant amounts of aquatic (fish, mollusks, and/or birds) foods in some of their diets. Most of this evidence points to exploit... Read More about Stable isotope evidence for increasing dietary breadth in the European mid-Upper Paleolithic.
