Abstract

In order to deepen our knowledge of the dietary habits of the prehispanic inhabitants of El Hierro, we have determined bone strontium (Sr), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and calcium (Ca) in 52 human tibiae (23 belonging to male and 20 to female individuals) buried in a single burial cave; in 21 modern individuals who served as controls; and in 11 bones of herbivores found at archeological sites of the Canary Islands. Results suggest that females consumed a more vegetarian diet, although site-corrected Sr/Ca ratio of both males and females speaks for a mixed-diet consumption.

摘要

为了加深我们对耶罗岛史前居民饮食习惯的了解，我们测定了埋葬在一个单一墓葬洞穴中的52根人类胫骨（23根属于男性个体，20根属于女性个体）中的骨锶（Sr）、锰（Mn）、镁（Mg）、铜（Cu）、锌（Zn）和钙（Ca）；测定了21名作为对照的现代个体中的这些元素；还测定了在加那利群岛考古遗址发现的11块食草动物骨骼中的这些元素。结果表明，女性食用的素食更多，尽管经遗址校正后，男性和女性的Sr/Ca比值都表明他们食用的是混合饮食。
