Table 1 Radiocarbon (and AAR) dates of the archaeological levels sampled in this study, including the number of specimens per species analysed for bone collagen δ13C and δ15N values. Where direct dates for a level were not available, dating evidence from adjacent levels has been included. Shell C14 dates adjusted upward by 105 years for the Holocene marine reservoir effect, per Soares et al.143.
