Diet and Animal Husbandry of the Preclassic Maya at Cuello, Belize Isotopic and Zooarchaeological Evidence... 

Table 2.1. Carbon and nitrogen isotope values of animal and human skeletal remains from the Predassic archaeological deposits at Cuello. Belize.

Figure 2.2. Carbon and nitrogen isotope values of marine fauna from Belize, Ecuador (van der Merwe et al. 1993), and the southwestern Cape coast of South Africa (Sealy and van der Merwe 1986).

Table 2.3. Carbon and nitrogen isotope values in hair of modern human and canid residents of the Cuello area Orange Walk, Belize. 1992.

Five other isotope studies of Maya skeletal populations in Belize are available for comparison with Cuello (Table 2.4 Fig. 2.3). These include a time series from Preclassic to Historic at Lamanai (White and Schwarcz 1989), an Early through Terminal Classic sequence at Pacbitun (White et al. 1993),...

Figure 2.4. Carbon and nitrogen isotope values in human bone collagen from Preclassic Belize (Cuello and Lamanai) and from the Preclassic Peten (Altar de Sacrificios and Seibal).
