Department of Archaeology, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History DIVERSITY IN DIETARY INTAKE AMONG ENEOLITHIC AND NEOLITHIC CULTURES OF CENTRAL AND INNER ASIA Early populations in the northern portions of central and Inner Asia are understudied, specifically in terms of their dietary intake. Our study of previously published and new isotope data from the northern steppe zone indicates diversity in the diets of these populations. The shift to pastoralism may have occurred much earlier than previously believed, which is evident based on a shift in the isotopic niche widths and isospace of different communities. This is further supported by results from ancient protein analyses of dental calculus in the Altai. The timing of the transmission of millet and dairy between central and inner Asia hinges on the Altai Mountains which delimit the western and eastern steppes. Whether this zone is a boundary or one of increased connectivity is unclear, as scholars continue to grapple with clear evidence of trade and integration. Several lines of evidence are accessed in this paper to clarify interactions, including a discussion of the timing and location(s) of horse domestication, the consumption of species-specific dairy products, and the consumption of millet. Through detailed biomolecular analyses we demonstrate that local communities differentially adopted dairy and cultigens in this mountainous zone. Thus, local groups engaged in varied economic lifeways while living contemporaneously. 37 Karina Rapp, Chloe Hathrill, Alan Outram Centre for HumAnE Bioarchaeology, Department of Archaeology, College of Humanities, University of Exeter жүктеу/скачать 0,53 Mb.
