Introducing Isotopia: a stable isotope database for Classical Antiquity

The paper introduces Isotopia, a database of stable isotope measurements from Classical Antiquity, highlighting data gaps and emphasizing the need to address them for better reuse of the data.

Isotopic reconstruction of the subsistence strategy for a Central Italian Bronze Age community (Pastena cave, 2nd millennium BCE).

This study uses stable isotope analysis on charred seeds, faunal remains, and human specimens from the Pastena cave to reconstruct the diet and subsistence strategies of a Central Italian Bronze Age community.

Isotopic evidence for population dynamics in the Central Italian Copper Age and Bronze Age.

The paper uses isotopic and material culture analyses to study mobility patterns in the Italian Copper Age and Bronze Age, finding evidence of regional dynamics and external influences during the Middle Bronze Age.

Direct morpho-chemical characterization of elusive plant residues from Aurignacian Pontic Steppe ground stones

The paper identifies ancient starch residues on ground stones from the Pontic Steppe, suggesting intentional processing of plant roots and tubers by Homo sapiens around 40,000 years ago.

Food for the Empire: dietary pattern of Imperial Rome inhabitants.

This study reconstructs the dietary patterns of Imperial Rome inhabitants using stable isotope analysis of human bones and faunal remains, revealing a diet based on terrestrial resources with some C4 plant consumption.
