Archaeological fish bones reveal increases in marine fish utilisation in Northern and
Western Europe beginning in the 10th and 11th centuries AD. We use stable isotope …

The medieval period in Europe was a time of unprecedented social complexity that affected

In this pilot study, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes from bone collagen and apatite of
skeletons from the 11th and 12th century cemetery in Giecz, Poland are interpreted. Isotope …

Humanity's relationship with fish dates back to prehistory, when ancestral hominins evolved
the capacity to exploit aquatic resources. The impacts of early fishing on aquatic ecosystems …
