Effect of different healing stages on stable isotope ratios in skeletal lesions
Curto, Ana; Mahoney, Patrick; Maurer, Anne-France; Barrocas-Dias, Cristina; Fernandes, Teresa; Fahy, GeraldineAbstract Introduction: Physiological stress is one of the various factors that can have an impact on stable isotope ratios. However, its effect on bone collagen stable isotope ratios is still not fully understood. This study aims to build on previous research on how different disease stages may affect bone collagen stable isotope ratios. Materials and Methods: Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope ratios we...
Diet and disease in Tomar, Portugal: Comparing stable carbon and nitrogen isoto...
Curto, Ana; Mahoney, Patrick; Maurer, Anne-France; Barrocas-Dias, Cristina; Fernandes, Teresa; Fahy, GeraldineObjectives: This study explored the correspondence between stable isotope ratios and indicators of non-specific (periostitis and/or osteomyelitis) and specific (venereal syphilis) disease in a sample of human skeletons from a Portuguese archaeological collection. Additionally, this study examined stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope ratios between individuals at different disease stages. Materials a...

Curto, Ana; Maurer, Anne-France; Barrocas-Dias, Cristina; Mahoney, Patrick; Fernandes, Teresa; Fahy, GeraldineThis study integrates bone collagen stable isotope data (carbon, nitrogen and sulphur) from 33 human adult tibiae (15 females; 18 males) and 13 faunal remains from Tomar, while it was under the Military Orders domain (eleventh–seventeenth centuries). Historical literature indicates that the amount of meat consumption amongst Templars was lower than in individuals with similar social status. In Medieval times, t...
