Abstract

The Neolithic population was dependent on terrestrial C3 photosynthetic plants (wheat). Plant food sources of the LBK period were evaluated with regard to representation of proteins in a plant-based diet by sex and age of the examined individuals.

The analysis of collagen from human ribs revealed the ratios of N isotopes in 17 skeletons – 3 males, 8 females and 6 children.
