When maize is not the first choice: Advances in paleodietary studies in the Archaeological Site Rió Doncellas (Jujuy, Argentina)

In this work we present new values of stable isotopes of carbon (δ13Ccoand δ13Cap) and nitrogen (δ15N) measured in a sample of 13 human individuals found in the Rió Doncellas Archaeological Site (Late Period or Regional Developments, ca. 1000 AD-1450 AD) located in the Puna of Jujuy, Northwest of Ar...
