Resumen de Chemical Dietary reconstruction of Guanche NEC-2
- español
Los estudios de la proporción de isótopos estables de carbono y nitrógeno se llevaron a cabo en muestras de hueso compacto de la momia Guanche NEC-2. Los resultados fueron evaluados e interpretados como característicos de una dieta que contenía aproximadamente la mitad de plantas C3 como vegetales de jardín, frutos y cereales. La otra mitad era carne de origen animal (cabras, ovejas u otro ganado pastando plantas C3). No se encontraron cantidades significativas de alimentos marinos.
