Social Variation in Middle Bronze Age Knossos

The present study uses high-quality data on stable carbon (13C/12C) and nitrogen (15N/14N) isotope ratio from two Middle Bronze Age human skeletal collections from Knossos for the purposes of a palaeodietary investigation in this context, and offers a nuanced insight into social variation in Middle Bronze Age Knossos. These isotope signatures are used to characterize the diet of the respective individuals and to explore in context patterns of dietary variation at the intra- and inter-populati..
