Stable Isotope Sourcing of Wool from Textiles at Pacatnamú

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions were determined for wool textiles from the Lambayeque ( c . ad 1100–1320) occupation at Pacatnamú in the Jequetepeque Valley, northern Peru. The isotopic data demonstrate that the wool was not obtained via long‐distance exchange with the highlands and was most probably derived from locally raised camelids. In light of other lines of evidence (diversity of dyes used to produce the same colours in...
