Models for Carbon Isotope Fractionation Between Diet and Bone
Abstract
Dietary evaluation using isotopic analyses of carbon in collagen from bone is an exciting new area of archaeological chemistry. Analyses of bone from herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores (including humans) suggest that a simple isotopic fractionation between dietary carbon and carbon in bone collagen may be an inadequate model for interpretation of results. Dietary carbohydrates are primarily metabolized for energy and their carbon is reflected mainly in the hydroxyapatite of bone. Dietary lipids are also important energy components of the diet. Dietary proteins, on the other hand, are utilized for protein (e.g. bone collagen) synthesis as needed and only excess amino acids are metabolized for energy. Herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores thus might have different isotopic fractionation models, each of which is presented. Biochemical evidence in support of these models is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
