Extricating the importance of freshwater resource use within prehistoric diets: combining the power of bulk and compound specific stable isotope analysis with established freshwater reservoir effects on radiocarbon dates

Abstract:

Freshwater environments were an important source of food for the hunter-gatherers (HG) of the Cis- and Trans-Baikal regions surrounding Lake Baikal, southern Siberia. However, carbon reservoirs contribute to the aquatic ecosystems of Lake Baikal and the surrounding river systems resulting in a freshwater reservoir effect (FRE) on radiocarbon dates of HG bone collagen. The FRE creates inaccurate HG radiocarbon dates based on both the quantity of freshwater resources each individual consumed an...
