摘要：

Seventy-five teeth from the Bronze Age cemetery of Ya'amoun were sampled for carbon isotope analysis. The sampled teeth represented the transitional period of the Middle/Late Bronze Age. The results showed that the components of the diet that are reflected in the carbon isotope data remained the same during this period with an average delta(13)C of about -11.87parts per thousand. This value reflects more C-3 plant consumption. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
