Differences in the isotopic composition of individual grains and aggregated seed samples affect interpretation of ancient plant cultivation practices
The stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope analysis of charred archaeological grains provides a remarkably precise scale of information: the growing conditions under which a plant was cultivated in a single field and season. Here we investigate how the measurement of single individual grai...
