Description: The analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen provides a powerful tool for reconstructing past diets, since it provides the only direct evidence of the foods that were actually consumed. This volume describes the application of this methodology to the archaeology of Greece.

Review Quotes: "...the first compilation of its kind for Greece, and it will be of interest primarily to bioarchaeologists who specialize in stable isotope ratio analysis, while human bone specialists and archaeologists in general will also find it interesting and useful."--Argyro Nafplioti
