“…Lastly, the lack of correlation between δ 13 C co and δ 13 C en , is perhaps more unexpected as moderate to strong correlations have been reported for populations both with (Loftus and Sealy, 2012) and without (France and Owsley, 2013) access to marine resources. However, assessment of similar data sets from archeological populations in Mesoamerica (e.g., Rand et al, 2013;Somerville et al, 2013) and in the Caribbean (Laffoon et al, 2013;Laffoon and de Vos, 2011;Norr, 2002;Stokes, 1998) reveals that δ 13 C co and δ 13 C en are often not well correlated, consistent with the notion that these two isotope proxies reflect different aspects of diet in biocultural contexts where dietary energy and protein sources vary independently in δ 13 C. Fig. 3.…”

“…It can provide insights into the changing size of animal populations, human nutritional status, changes in animal use, evidence for longdistant trade of species, genetic bottlenecks, new species in the human diet, changes in body size (Emery and Thornton, 2008), or species introductions, as with the Mexican turkey (Meleagris gallopavo gallopavo) at Preclassic El Mirador (Thornton et al, 2012). Several studies showed that maize or other C 4 species were components of deer and peccary diets, and this and other zooarchaelogical evidence suggests that a patchwork of forests, fields, and successional plants surrounded Maya sites (Emery, 2008;Emery and Thornton, 2008;Somerville et al, 2013).…”

“…These analyses generated two functions that describe how the test samples varied in terms of the isotopic data: The function scores enable the plotting of data into five clusters of dietary types (Froehle et al 2012; see also Sommerville et al 2013). The data for Dalheim are modeled this way in Fig.…”
