Abstract
Objectives Stable isotope analysis has often been used in neonatal remains from archeological contexts to investigate the presence of a signal of breastfeeding and weaning in past populations. Tooth histology on the other hand might be used as an indicator of birth survival. This pilot study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using stable nitrogen (δ 15 N) and carbon (δ 13 C) isotope values from neonatal bone collagen to elucidate if values...
